Suze
HARVEST
For generations, Suze has been renowned for its original recipe and traditional production. Its aromatic complexity is the result of a subtle balance between fresh gentian and many different aromatic plant extracts. Suze is made from both farmed gentian and wild gentian..
There are two gentian farms: one in Auvergne and the other in Seine Maritime. The first gentian crops date back to 197. They need lots of attention because the plant takes minimum 10 years to reach full maturity. During its initial years, the plant needs protection, especially from other grasses, so that it can develop properly. Pioneer in the 1970's, Pernod-Ricard developed the cultivation of gentian in France and implemented a reasoned and responsible agriculture (without fertilizer and without irrigation). Pernod-Ricard is still today the only manufacturer to master such cultivation. The unique know-how allows us to limit our pressure on wild resource in order to be sustainable, to protect wild gentian and to control the quality and supply of the root.

When the gentian has been picked, it is washed, cut and left to macerate in alcohol for at least a year. The juice of the gentian is then extracted by pressing its roots. Next, this juice is distilled in a still following a process that has been specially designed for making Suze, and which gives the product its signature. Then comes the final blending stage, when the gentian is combined with other aromatics.
This mastery of raw ingredients, from the pastures or fields to the traditional production process, and the respect for the time needed for each stage give Suze its unrivalled organoleptic character. The sweetness and depth of the aromas allow the bitterness of the gentian to express itself fully.
