La Quintinye Vermouth Royal Blanc 16% ABV 0.75 l is a premium French vermouth created by the renowned spirits maker Jean-Sébastien Robicquet. The vermouth Linie pays homage to Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinye, the landscape architect to the French Sun King, Louis XIV, who designed the famous kitchen garden at Versailles. This historical heritage is also reflected in the design, as each bottle bears the Fleur de Lys, the heraldic symbol of the French monarchy. Launched in 2014, the vermouth collection is based on wines and Pineau des Charentes, a traditional blend of unfermented grape must and Eau-de-vie de Cognac from the IGP Charentais wine-growing region in south-west France. The composition is complemented by a carefully selected blend of 18 botanicals, including wormwood, vine blossoms and other aromatic herbs and spices. The Royal Blanc is then aged for twelve months in French oak barrels, giving it additional depth and complexity.


The combination of a traditional recipe, regional origins and artisanal craftsmanship gives this vermouth an elegant, harmonious structure and makes it a distinctive representative of French vermouth culture. The production process is based on an approach that combines exceptional quality with flavourful finesse, making Royal Blanc versatile enough to be enjoyed neat as well as in both classic and modern cocktails. Its aromatic profile and the refined balance between sweetness, acidity and herbal notes give it a distinct personality, which has firmly established it in the world of upmarket bars.

Tasting Note

Pale gold in the glass. On the nose, fresh and slightly sweet notes of citrus fruits and apricots, accompanied by orange peel and floral and herbaceous nuances such as sage, rosemary, lavender, hay, pine and honeysuckle. On the palate, it has an oily body with bittersweet accents of ripe yellow fruits and lemon sorbet, alongside oranges, liquorice, lavender and cloves. The finish is of medium length, slightly fruity and spicy, elegant and long-lasting.

Vermouth Royal Blanc is perfect for classic aperitif occasions and is ideal for cocktails such as the White Negroni, Martini variations or fresh highballs with tonic or soda. It also pairs beautifully with Mediterranean starters, mild cheeses, salted almonds, marinated vegetables or light fish dishes. Served neat over ice, its complex herbal profile unfolds particularly impressively. Its versatile flavour profile makes it an elegant all-rounder that holds a special place both in upmarket restaurants and in the creative home bar.
