Comtat Origan Liqueur – 50 cl – 38% Vol

€24,90

Origan du Comtat is a liqueur born in the Comtat Venaissin (Vaucluse / Provence).
Its name evokes the Provençal tradition: originally, the liqueur combined oregano (or marjoram) with a blend of Mediterranean plants to produce an aromatic drink, heir to the elixirs and plant waters of the region.

Comtat oregano is made by macerating, infusing and distilling a mixture of about fifty (or even more than 60) plants, flowers and spices: oregano, hyssop, rosemary, marjoram, sage, lemon balm, fir buds, etc.
The mixture is traditionally sweetened with honey from Provence (or a “honey/syrup” sweetener, depending on the batch) to bring roundness and sweetness to the liqueur.
In some versions, the liqueur is aged in oak barrels , which gives it additional aromatic complexity and stability in the bottle.

Nose & aromas : rich herbaceous and aromatic bouquet — oregano, garrigue plants, resinous or woody notes, wild herbs, sometimes balsamic or slightly sweet touches due to honey.
Palate : balanced, round and generous liqueur — soft attack, then vegetal and slightly spicy aromatic development, with a finish of honey and a long, persistent herbaceous note.
Colour & appearance : amber or yellowish robe — typical of herbal liqueurs — clear, which can visually match the idea of a “Provençal nectar”.

Digestive or aperitif : served chilled, neat or with a few ice cubes, Origan du Comtat is best enjoyed after a meal or at the end of the day, to appreciate its aroma and sweetness.
As a cocktail or long drink : a few cl in a glass with sparkling water, tonic or lemonade for a light, aromatic aperitif, imbued with the scent of the garrigue.
Gourmet pairings : excellent with regional sweets, such as Papalines d'Avignon — chocolates with Origan du Comtat liqueur — or with mild cheeses, dried fruits, or simple desserts.
To share with friends : 50cl format well suited for a convivial aperitif, to take out in the evening, on the terrace or at the end of a meal to prolong the flavours of the South.

For its authentic Provençal & historical character — a liqueur born in the 19th century, rooted in the terroir of the Comtat Venaissin, produced by a traditional distillery.
For its aromatic complexity & sweetness — a blend of plants, honey and know-how, offering a rich, vegetal and convivial profile, different from industrial liqueurs.
For its versatility — digestif, aperitif, cocktail, sweet accompaniment: Origan du Comtat adapts to many occasions.
