Avèze Gentian Liqueur is a traditional French aperitif made from wild yellow gentian root, primarily sourced from the volcanic highlands of Auvergne. Known for its distinctively bitter and earthy profile, Avèze has been produced since 1929 and remains a staple in classic French aperitif culture.
Primary Ingredient: Wild yellow gentian root
Flavor Profile: Herbal, earthy, bitter, with floral and citrus undertones
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Earthy and floral, with hints of citrus and alpine herbs
Palate: A well-balanced bitterness, complemented by subtle sweetness and botanical complexity
Finish: Long and lingering, with a pleasantly bitter aftertaste
Avèze is often compared to Suze, another well-known gentian liqueur, but it has a slightly less intense bitterness and a more floral, rounded profile.
