Developed in the south of France and produced by Noilly Prat, this vermouth is widely regarded as a benchmark for the dry style. Based in Marseillan, the house follows a distinctive production method that includes ageing base wines outdoors, exposing them to the elements to develop character before botanical infusion. The wine base is primarily white varieties, providing a structured yet neutral foundation for the aromatics.
A carefully selected blend of herbs and spices, including wormwood, chamomile, and bitter orange peel, is infused into the aged wine to build complexity. The result is a drier, more savoury profile compared to sweet vermouths, with a focus on balance and clarity. Positioned in the premium category, it is a cornerstone ingredient in classic cocktails and equally suited to aperitif service.
