Cabernet Vinegar

France

Very subtle and aged white wine vinegar with Tarragon.

Aged White Wine Vinegar with Tarragon by Martin Pouret is produced and bottled in Orleans, France in the traditional "slow process" since 1797. The wines will slowly metamorphose for three weeks in 220 litre barrels called "vaisseaux" at the constant temperature of 28 degrees, sheltered from the light. The vinegar thus obtained will be left to mature for six months in oak tuns in order to refine its aroma and bouquet.

In 1797, there were 300 vinegar makers and dealers in Orleans, one of whom was the Martin Pouret family. Today, Martin Pouret is the only remaining vinegar and mustard maker to continue the tradition (the company is managed by Jean-Francois Martin, a 6th generation member of the family).
