  Noilly Prat Old Version Rouge Vermouth France 70 cl

  Item no.: 2273-8055

  In Marseillan, where the Mediterranean laps against the Étang de Thau, the same oak casks have stood beneath the open sky for more than 200 years, while sun and salt air have slowly shaped an entire vermouth tradition. Noilly Prat Rouge Vermouth is the house's answer to Marseillan's warmer, spiced side.

  Expert's Description

  Noilly Prat Rouge Vermouth is a French Vermouth Liqueur from Maison Noilly Prat in Marseillan, made from white wine infused with a secret blend of herbs and spices, with an alcohol strength of 16%. The house was founded in 1813 by herbalist Joseph Noilly, who developed France's first vermouth roughly 50 years before the Italian house of Martini, and the Noilly Prat name remains inseparable from the Mediterranean port town of Marseillan. While the house's dry vermouth is traditionally aged outdoors in oak casks beneath the open sky, Rouge follows a different path: the wine, made from Picpoul and Clairette grapes grown in the Languedoc, is infused with around 20 selected herbs and spices, including sweet orange from Spain, cinnamon from Sri Lanka, cloves from Madagascar and cinchona bark from Ecuador. Half of the wine matures in oak casks in the house's Chai St Louis, while the rest rests in large vats, before the two parts are blended into the deep, reddish-brown vermouth.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark red berries, sweet spice and a touch of herbal bitterness meet on the nose.

  Palate

  The palate is warm and full-bodied with caramelised tones, macerated herbs and a wine-like depth.

  Finish

  The finish is long, with candied fruit, fine spice and a light, balanced bitterness.

  Noilly Prat Vermouth Dry France 18%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-8015

  In Marseillan, where the Mediterranean meets the Étang de Thau, oak casks have stood beneath the open sky for almost two hundred years, letting sun and salt shape the wine within. Noilly Prat Dry is the distillate of that outdoor ageing tradition that made the town famous.

  Expert's Description

  Noilly Prat Vermouth Dry is a French dry vermouth from Maison Noilly Prat in Marseillan, made from white wine infused with a secret blend of herbs and spices, with an alcohol strength of 18%. The house was founded in 1813 by herbalist Joseph Noilly, who developed the recipe roughly 50 years before the Italian house of Martini, creating France's first vermouth. The wine, made from Picpoul and Clairette grapes grown in the Languedoc, undergoes the house's signature method known as L'Enclos: after eight months in Canadian oak casks, the wine is transferred to half-hogsheads of Limousin oak, where it matures outdoors beneath the open sky for up to a year, exposed to Mediterranean sun and the salt air of the Étang de Thau. The oxidative depth this creates has made Noilly Prat Dry a cornerstone of the classic Dry Martini cocktail.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is dry and saline, with chamomile, gentian and a hint of orange peel.

  Palate

  The palate is crisp and herbaceous, with notes of bitter herbs, citrus and a light nutty tone.

  Finish

  The finish is dry and refreshing, with a lingering, light bitterness.
