FINOTE No.1 APÉRITIF 0.0% - DELICIOUS, HERBACEOUS, BITTER · 25CL
A heritage reborn with contemporary grace ✨
At the Mediterranean gateway of Argelès-sur-Mer, where Catalan vibrancy blends seamlessly with French refinement, Finote traces its roots to a remarkable 19th-century woman. The great-great-grandmother of founder Élodie — known as Finote — crafted her own herbal aperitifs from mountain plants, roots and spices, distilling the aromatic character of a land stretching from sea to Pyrenees🌿✨
Today, Élodie brings that legacy into the present, transforming a family tradition into a line of modern, alcohol-free aperitifs shaped for discerning drinkers. Finote embodies a rare balance: the sincerity of heritage and the clarity of contemporary taste — an invitation to savour nature with elegance.
Finote No.1 is the renewed expression of those early recipes: gourmand, herbaceous and delicately bitter, revealing depth without any trace of alcohol (0.0%).
Its artisanal blend — grape juice, gentian and ginseng infusions, quassia, oak accents and natural botanicals — offers the aromatic refinement of a vermouth while remaining exceptionally light and alcohol-free.
Aromatic Character
An amber glow with golden hints announces a layered palette of candied fruit, soft warming spices, and refined woody notes. The gentle bitterness of gentian shapes the structure, leading to an enveloping finish that recalls subtly spiced gingerbread✨
Serving Inspiration
Serve chilled in an old-fashioned glass with a ribbon of orange zest 🍊, or let it elevate your favourite 0.0% cocktails.
A polished, expressive aperitif — ideal for moments where sophistication and clarity go hand in hand 🥃
