Founded in 2022 by long-time friends Baptiste and Roberto, the project is driven by a deep commitment to quality ingredients and artisan methods. Distillation is carried out in a copper still, operated entirely by hand and heated by a wood fire, in collaboration with master distiller Simon Tardieu.
Vermouth & Pastis
Vermeil Spirits Vermut
A stunning new addition to the aromatised wine landscape. This white vermut is built on an organic, fortified sweet wine base — Muscat de Rivesaltes (vin doux naturel) — infused with a dozen carefully selected botanicals, spices, and fruits, including bitter orange, gentian, and juniper. This truly artisan apéritif wine balances gentle sweetness with herbal complexity — perfect over ice or as the heart of classic cocktails. Complex layering and astonishingly fresh botanicals make this an instant classic of the highest order.

Vermeil Spirits Pastis
Pastis Vermeil is an artisan pastis distilled from a locally sourced organic wine base and a vibrant ensemble of plants and spices, including star anise, wild fennel, cardamom, wormwood, verbena and anethole. Its distinct colour comes from plant extracts — specifically wormwood and wild fennel. With a delicate anise nose that gives way to exotic fruit and spice, this is a top-shelf take on the classic French anise apéritif. Enjoy as an apéritif or digestif with water to open up its aromatic richness (add ice second, if you're so inclined).
