A tribute to the Quercy, the Lou Quercynol brings together walnut and quinquina in an aperitif of character, where the bitterness and herbal richness express the full authenticity of a terroir deeply rooted in its history.

HISTORY

Lou Quercynol ("le Quercynois" in Occitan) is Maison Louis Roque's tribute to its land of origin and to its Quercy identity. Hailing from the valleys of the Quercy, where walnuts have been cultivated since the Middle Ages, it combines this emblematic fruit with quinquina in an aperitif recipe of assured character. True to its roots, this artisan creation has never left Souillac and carries on an authentic and timeless local savoir-faire.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

From the very first glance, the Lou Quercynol charms with its deep hazel-brown colour, crossed with subtle mahogany reflections. Opaque and dense in the glass, it immediately conveys an impression of richness and concentration. This visual intensity heralds an aperitif of character, at once deep and authentic, true to its terroir.

AROMATIC PROFILE

The first nose opens with direct notes of fresh walnut and walnut husk, offering an intense and immediately recognisable aromatic entry. The heart then reveals the bitter structure of the Lou Quercynol, carried by quinquina and herbal roots that bring depth and character. Finally, the base settles into darker and lingering hints of spice, damp earth and oak wood, extending the olfactory experience with power and authenticity.

TASTING

From the very first taste, the walnut expresses itself with directness, green and lightly tannic, bringing a vivid and characteristic opening on the palate. The quinquina then gradually settles in, structuring the whole palate with a clean, elegant and appetising bitterness. The tasting extends into a long and herbal finish, marked by a subtle return of toasted hazelnut. Best enjoyed over ice with a twist of lemon, or as a long drink with an artisan lemonade for a fresher and more thirst-quenching version.
