"Pastis (from the Provençal Occitan pastisson: pâté or mixture) is the name given to alcoholic drinks flavored with anise and licorice. Pastis in Occitan also means boredom, an unpleasant or confusing situation: what a pastis!
  
 In the heart of Drôme, Pierre and Margaux created a small family business with the aim of manufacturing and marketing a quality pastis: Le Pierrot.
  
The aromatic plants are slipped into a “tea ball” and infused for a few days in Vercors spring water mixed with alcohol; this comes from wheat (which is the most neutral alcohol).
  
For more than a week every day, we add an ingredient, mix, according to its very precise recipe.
  
 On the nose : It is an explosion of smells, sweet, warm, pleasant (the pine forest, the scrubland... and if you close your eyes the song of the cicadas takes over).
  
 In the mouth : anise then thyme, rosemary and then liquorice, leaving you thirsty... you almost forget the alcohol.
  
 It does not break the palate, the meal that follows will be all the more appreciated after an aperitif washed down with a Pierrot."
