Merlet C² Lemon & Cognac combines the expertise of the Merlet family as liquorists and distillers, and plays on the classic complementarity between cognac and citrus fruits, here yellow lemon and lime.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: The nose is clearly focused on lemon with notes of ginger, licorice, and spices.
PALATE: The tasting on the palate is an explosion of flavors. The cognac and lemons blend instantly. Then comes the freshness of the zest, combined with vanilla, fruit, and the woodiness of the cognac.
FINISH: A beautiful length where bitterness, acidity, and spicy notes mingle.

Merlet Wild Strawberry liqueur (Crème de Fraise des Bois) combines two complementary varieties, for their richness and complexity. The Merlets source their fruits from partner producers in order to guarantee consistent quality. Thanks to their position as currant growers and winemakers, the Merlets are able to exchange with their partner producers and call on their own expertise to select fruits of optimal ripeness.
Produced in Switzerland from ancient recipes, Tempus Fugit Crème de Menthe glaciale is unique in its taste and aromas, which result entirely from the distillation of various plants.

Cognac & coffee liqueur calls on Merlet’s expertise as both distillers and liqueur-makers, and showcases two after-dinner classics. Merlet partnered with Merling, a local coffee roaster from La Rochelle to select the origin and variety of the coffee (Brazilian Arabica) but also to work directly with freshly roasted coffee.
Aromas of panettone and candied lime lead, while flavours of white chocolate, lemon truffles and hazelnut balance perfectly on the palate. Sweet citrus returns on the finish with blood orange accompanied by notes of toasted oak.
