Set in the heart of the remote village of Montagna-le-Reconduit, Carine, a distilling farmer, grows and picks aromatic plants in the wild.
These plants are then distilled in a traditional alembic to make delicious absinthes. A range of delicatessen products completes the range: aperitif spreads, herbal oils, herbal teas, digestifs, aperitifs...
Come and taste a little absinthe on your way back from a hike in the remote Montagna-le-Reconduit! The green fairy awaits you!
