Suze Saveur d’Autrefois Liqueur 700ml
This French liqueur has intense noes of gentian, bitterness and citrus zest, along with some honeyed sweetness and a lingering bitter finish. It’s being released to the American market after a long absence, using a recipe inspired by the original that gives its distinctive flavor and unique personality. It’s produced using wild gentian harvested from the Alps and is a complex and highly aromatic aperitif. Producer Description.
Suze, among the oldest liqueurs in France, is an aperitif based on yellow gentian, hand-harvested in the mountains of Auvergne. The liqueur was created in 1889 by the Parisian distiller Fernand Moureaux. Suze grew quickly in popularity, and even made it into an early Picasso—“Verre et bouteille de Suze” (1912).
Today, Suze is the fifth best-selling liqueur in France. Over the years, Suze gradually took on a somewhat sweeter, less herbal profile. Suze d’Autrefois, however, is modeled on the original 1889 recipe and carries with it a touch of Belle Époque and Jazz Age Paris. Producer Description.
