<p>Much more than an aniseed beverage, Henri Bardouin Pastis is a masterpiece of balance where each ingredient occupies its rightful place. It deploys a symphony of flavours and aromas that meet, merge, and reveal themselves for a unique sensory dialogue between men, a terroir, and the history of Haute Provence. It is a symphony, whose score is a secret jealously guarded by Distilleries et Domaines de Provence.</p><h4><strong>Nurturing terroir</strong></h4><p>In the heart of the Alpes de Haute Provence, in Forcalquier, there is a wild and mysterious place. It nestles at the foot of the Lure Mountains, between a clear blue sky and among spectacular limestone rocks. <strong>This place is the Mourres plateau</strong> where the herbs, essential for making Bardouin Pastis (thyme, savory, sage, rosemary…), grow.</p><h4><strong>Production process</strong></h4><p>The Distillery that makes Henri Bardouin Pastis has one golden rule: <strong>give time to time</strong>. The pastis is made according to a rigorous process in which chance and haste have no place. This is the secret to creating an exceptional product…</p><p><strong>1. Collection of plants and spices</strong></p><p>The 65 ingredients in the recipe are all carefully harvested and selected before use.</p><p><strong>2. Maceration and pressing</strong></p><p>Plants and spices macerate in 30°-70° alcohol in vats.<br>Infusion can take between two weeks and three months, followed by straining or pressing.</p><p><strong>3. Distillation</strong></p><p>Distillation is carried out in a pot-still, according to best practices. This almost alchemical process extracts the quintessence of the aromas.</p><p><strong>4. Blending</strong></p><p>Infusions and distillates are carefully and meticulously blended. The strong spirit obtained is then brought down to 45° by adding pure water.</p><p><strong>5. Decanting and filtering</strong></p><p>Now, the alcohol needs to be left to rest to allow the tannins to settle. When ready, the pastis is filtered twice.</p><p><strong>6. Bottling</strong></p><p>Once the final tastings to ensure the perfect balance of Grand Cru Henri Bardouin Pastis have been made, it is bottled. Bottling must be quick to preserve all the aromas.</p><h4><strong>Art of tasting</strong></h4><p>Henri Bardouin pastis has a unique organoleptic profile. Yellow, iridescent brown and green colour … Aniseed evolving towards spicy notes on the nose…A fresh and straightforward attack with a rich and long, lasting finish.<br>To savour all the aromatic finesse of Henri Bardouin Pastis, dilute <strong>1 volume</strong> in <strong>6 to 10 volumes of water</strong>. Yes, dilution is also the secret of real pastis tasting.<br>Besides being the ideal aperitif beverage, pastis Henri Bardouin also pairs wonderfully with fish, vegetables and spicy dishes.</p><p><i>Grand Cru Henri Bardouin Pastis has no expiry date: stored vertically, between 10 and 25°C and out of the refrigerator, it will perfectly preserve all of its aromas over time.</i></p>
