Verveine du Velay Green 70cl

Verveine du Velay Green | Pagès Verte de Velay Liqueur

A Historic French Herbal Masterpiece Distilled from Verbena and Secret Botanicals

Verveine du Velay Green (Verte de Pagès) is a legendary French herbal liqueur that captures the intense power and botanical freshness of the Auvergne region. Crafted by the historic Pagès distillery, this spirit is built upon a secret recipe comparable in complexity and prestige to the famous Chartreuse of the Carthusian Monks.

The production process centers on the careful maceration and distillation of locally grown lemon verbena leaves, combined with a complex array of aromatic plants, herbs, and spices. Through a meticulous method of slow heating in copper bain-marie stills, the master distiller captures the delicate essential oils of the flora, creating a vibrant, deeply aromatic spirit that has been a staple of French heritage since 1859.

Tasting Notes

Nose: An immediate and powerful burst of fresh lemon verbena, followed by a multi-layered herbal complexity featuring notes of peppermint, anise, and wild alpine herbs.

Palate: The palate is intense and refreshing. Vibrant citrus and "green" vegetal notes from the verbena are balanced by a rich, velvety texture. Deep herbal undertones are sweetened naturally by the addition of Auvergne honey and premium cognac, providing a sophisticated depth.

Finish: Long, cooling, and aromatic. The finish leaves a persistent herbal freshness and a subtle hint of oak from the aging process.

Artisanal Production and Aging

Copper Bain-Marie Distillation: Utilizing water-bath stills for slow, gentle heating, ensuring the most volatile and delicate plant aromas are preserved.
The Master Assemblage: The final liqueur is a masterful blend of plant distillates, infusions, high-quality brandy, and local Auvergne honey.
Cellar Aging: Every batch is aged for several months in French oak barrels within the distillery's cellars, allowing the spirit to acquire its signature softness and finesse.
Natural Vibrancy: The striking green colour is a reflection of the high concentration of chlorophyll and botanicals used in the traditional maceration.
