Distillers
Françoise Bovet
Distillerie Absinthe Bovet La Valote
Françoise Bovet carries forward the clandestine absinthe knowledge of her father, Willy Bovet. Since 2010, she has refined that inheritance into absinthes made with precise artisanal craft.
Situated in Môtiers, at the heart of the Val-de-Travers, her distillery embraces the seamless process “from the field to the bottle,” embodying tradition and quality.
Her Prohibition-era stills remain in use today. Each bottle reflects Val-de-Travers heritage, family knowledge, and patient distillation.
Philippe Martin
Distillerie Absinthe La Valote Martin
Meet Philippe Martin, the driving force behind Distillerie Absinthe La Valote Martin, where tradition meets innovation.
Philippe hails from a family legacy of distillers, where both men and women have practiced the art for nearly a century. As he fondly recalls, “I kind of fell into it when I was little.” Having assisted his father with multilingual tours in German and English, Philippe’s journey led him to transition from a multinational corporation to succeeding his father.
In the heart of the Val-de-Travers, Philippe brings a wealth of family expertise to Distillerie Absinthe La Valote Martin. With roots deeply embedded in the distillation tradition, Philippe ensures that each product reflects a century-old legacy while embracing contemporary craftsmanship. The result is absinthe shaped by Philippe’s craft and the Val-de-Travers distilling heritage.
René Jean Jaquet
Distillerie de la Vy-Perroud
René Jeanjaquet, a seasoned maestro with over 65 years in clandestine distillation, orchestrates his craft using a distinctive 20-litre pot still—a true micro batch marvel.
In the crisp morning air, an alluring fragrance of absinthe envelops René Jeanjaquet’s distillery. Nestled in an environment where pure air allows aromas to flourish, René’s expertise shines. A rare gem reminiscent of the illicit distilleries from times past, this place maintains a hushed ambiance, perhaps a nod to age-old habits die hard.
Here, the alchemy begins early, with the winter’s snow crunching beneath your feet, and in the summer, long before the sun graces the sky. It’s a place where the allure of the “blue stuff” beckons thirsty patrons to terrace tastings. This is a genuine distillery from another era, where tradition is present in every carefully crafted drop.
