La Quintinye Vermouth Royal Extra Dry, France (17%, 37.5cl)

La Quintinye Vermouth Royal Extra Dry, 17%

La Quintinye Vermouth Royal is a series of vermouth named after Louis XIV's gardener Jean-Baptiste de la Quintinie (1623). Being Louis XIV's gardener was not just weeding and mowing shrubs - no Jean-Baptiste was involved in designing and developing the beautiful gardens of Versailles. A total of 800 hectares of beautiful, sculpted classical gardens were under the knowledgeable hands of Jean-Baptiste. He was also responsible for delivering fruit, vegetables and herbs to the king when he was in Versailles. The Vermouth is based on Jean-Baptiste's unique knowledge of herbs and plants and is based on Pineau de Charentes, which matches the spicy touch fantastically.
