Noilly Prat Ambré Vermouth

Detailed Description

Noilly Prat Ambré is created from fine white wines, blended with an intense extraction of herbs and spices. A careful selection of fine white wines are used to ensure the perfect balance for Noilly Prat Ambré. Half of the wines are aged in oak casks in the Chai St Louis for three months, to give them more structure. The remaining wines used are fresher and lighter, as they are rested at the same time in large vats. Together they perfectly complement each other and create the optimum balance of wines for Noilly Prat Ambré. To achieve the exquisite aroma, a special distillation process is used, extracting the flavour of the herbs. Beautifully crafted by the Mediterranean Sea, in the South of France, Noilly Prat is the Original French Vermouth since 1813. Noilly Prat is still produced today in the little port of Marseillan, where 4 different variants are made, each of them benefitting from its own unique recipe and process. Noilly Prat reflects the art de vivre from the South of France.
