Pastis Garagaï Cuvée 2022
$92, 45% alcohol.
Idiosyncratic expression. It was started by Maixent Dubois in 2019 in Puyloubier at the foot of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire. It’s a beautifully ‘raw’ expression, slightly cloudy and sweetened by Butinarello lavender honey. In the glass with water it becomes cloudy with a green tinge. It shows lots of savoury tones of herbs that open up with lemon and grapefruit peel, green peppercorn, green tea leaf, nettle, clove and just a smidge of nougat. It’s a unique and delicious pastis worth seeking out.
