The know-how of our distillery
Our distillery (founded in 1811) was a big producer of absinthe.
Besides, it was for the sales of absinthe that the leaders of this time wanted to settle the company in front of the railway station of Fougerolles, in order to be able to ship absinthe in big quantities.
For any further information, we advise you to consult our pages "history" and "craft" on our website www.lemercier.com.

Our ABISINTHE is a spirit containing wormwood plants. This sugarless aperitif is obtained by a traditional process, and still follows the recipe which was used in the past by our ancestors.
The recipe that we developped comes from the old recipe books. Thus, we have given a second birth to this aperitif respecting their precious indications.

A lot of plants, finely selected, comes into the production of this beverage : wormwood, green anis, star anise, fennel, gentian, or mugwort.
After a maceration of several hours in alcohol, the plants and seeds are distilled to create ABISINTHE. Then, we add an infusion of plants that brings the colour.
