Product information "La Clandestine Blanche "

La Clandestine Blanche is bottled at 53% abv. It has, at first nosing, a wonderful richness of aromas, followed by a lingering light bitterness. It is widely considered to be one of the best La Bleue absinthes.

La Clandestine is distilled using a 1935 recipe with more than 10 plants, including the famous local grande wormwood. Claude-Alain purchased the recipe from the creator's nephew and first hand-crafted this in 2001 in a 12 litre pot. In 2005, it became the first moonshine absinthe to be distilled legally in the Val-de-Travers, the cradle of absinthe distillation. Its traditional, artisanal production uses only natural ingredients. A very enjoyable discovery!

Did you know?
The name Charlotte on the label of La Clandestine Blanche is that of Charlotte Vaucher, the moonshiner who created the recipe in 1935.

Distillerie Artemisia-Bugnon

Claude-Alain Bugnon is probably the most famous absinthe distiller in Europe. He began distilling absinthe as a black distiller in 2000: absinthe was not legalized again in Switzerland until 2005. He acquired the "secret" recipe from Charlotte Vaucher in 1935 and still makes absinthe today in Couvet, the 18th century birthplace of absinthe. Claude-Alain is the distiller behind eight Golden Spoon winners at Pontarlier's Absinthiades.

Claude-Alain's wife, Karine, is also his business partner and burns with her husband or takes care of the visitors. As anyone who has visited them in Couvet knows, Claude-Alain and Karine Bugnon are great hosts and reflect the spirit of 'conviviality' embodied at La Clandestine.
