The taste of La Grenouillarde reminds us of an absinthe from the time before the prohibition.

The name comes from the word “Grenouillards”. For centuries the inhabitants of Boveresse were called Grenouillardes by people from other villages in the Val-de-Travers. Grenouillards is a sweet way of saying a female frog. The name originated from the fact that the inhabitants of Boveresse had traverse a swamp area to get to the next village of Môtiers. To avoid getting their shoes wet, they jumped from tuft of grass to tuft of grass. This reminded the other people of a frog.

Today, the villagers no longer have to be afraid of getting wet feet, because a channel was built in 1950 to stop the regular flooding. On one of its banks stands a little fountain that is shaped like a frog.

Did you know?

Philippe Martin uses 10 different herbs for his La Bleue absinthes. Among these herbs are grand wormwood, petite wormwood, lemon balm, hyssop and peppermint. Most of the herbs have been cultivated in the Val-de-Travers, or even in the distillery's own garden. The distillery is situated in an old building in Boveresse that is known under the name "Maison des Chats", The House of Cats, a picturesque building with sculptures of cats on ledges, to be precise.

Background

Francis Martin, the father of Philippe Martin was one of the very few clandestine distiller who distilled absinthe during the time of the absinthe ban in Switzerland. When absinthe was legalized in 2005, he received the authorization to legally produce absinthe. The original recipe from clandestine times is still used today by his son Philippe who took over the distillery in 2014.

Serving Suggestions

- At first, enjoy Absinthe La Grenouillarde without any sugar. Then, according to your taste, try it slightly sugared.

- For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 5 measures of fresh water.

La Valote Martin, Switzerland

The distillery of Philippe Martin is situated in Boveresse, in the Val-de-Travers, the birthplace of absinthe and today home to some of the finest absinthe distilleries.

Philippe Martin distills his absinthes in an old house known to locals as La Maison des Chats, a centuries-old building decorated with stone sculptures of cats. Right opposite is the distillery's own garden, where most of the herbs used for Philippe’s absinthe is cultivated.

Philippe took over the distillery from his father Francis Martin in 2014, who distilled for 33 years during the time of the absinthe ban in Switzerland. When absinthe was re-legalized in 2005, Francis received a licence to produce absinthe legally.
