Bugnon family, traditional production since 2005. Around two hundred years after the birth of absinthe, Claude-Alain Bugnon, who was born in the region but worked in oil refining, became interested in the drinks created by his ancestors and enjoyed for generations. Like many families in the region, he started making his absinthe in the basement of his house. Starting in 2000, he slowly gained a reputation that quickly spread beyond Switzerland. Using a recipe dating back to 1935, he developed a new absinthe which he dedicated to his creator at the time, Charlotte. Americans discovered "La Clandestine Bleue" (or CLB as some call it) through different "distribution channels". In 2005, as absinthe developed throughout the world and absinthe was about to become legal again in Switzerland, Claude-Alain was the first distiller from the birthplace of absinthe to take all the steps to become a legal producer. At the head of Artemisia distillerie artisanale, Claude-Alain and Karine Bugnon follow only one strategy: their passion for absinthe. The real thing, of course, produced with Val-de-Travers plants grown with care by our farmers. Claude-Alain and Karine Bugnon have imposed a rigorous philosophy on their distillery: respect for traditional absinthe and the maintenance of high-quality artisanal production. The aim of the Artemisia distillery is to produce quality absinthes that are recognised as being among the best in the Val-de-Travers! "Produced in the birthplace of absinthe, La Clandestine no longer needs to be a secret pleasure! ....

Born in Switzerland, Jean-Michel grew up in a family deeply rooted in viticultural tradition. At the age of fourteen and a half, he began working alongside his father, creating his first wine, “La Feuillette.” This was the beginning of a passion that would shape his entire life. Jean-Michel refined his expertise by working in several prestigious estates around the world, notably in France, Italy, and the United States. Among the estates that benefited from his expertise are Château Pape Clément, La Tour Carnet, and Robert Mondavi’s estate in California. These international experiences allowed him to develop a deep mastery of different winemaking techniques. Philosophy and Winemaking Methods : Jean-Michel is a perfectionist who places quality above all else. He is the only one to craft his wines according to a rigorous and traditional method, favoring micro-vinification and unique artisanal techniques. He is particularly recognized for his refusal to use modern materials such as stainless steel, preferring ancestral practices such as aging in carefully selected wooden barrels. Every detail of winemaking is handled by Jean-Michel himself, from the manual harvesting of grapes to the prolonged aging in barrels. The Winemaking Process : • Grapes are hand-harvested and cooled before vinification to preserve their aromas. • Fermentation is carefully controlled, often in special tanks such as the spherical “Galiléo.” • Barrel aging, sometimes for more than two years, develops complex aromas and a silky texture. • No chemicals or modern techniques are used, ensuring purity and authenticity. Exceptional Wines : Among Jean-Michel’s most remarkable creations are wines such as “Mon Chéri,” “Le Délice de Camille,” and “Ma Mère M’a Dit.” Each of these wines is crafted with particular attention to detail and deep respect for viticultural tradition. Jean-Michel was also a pioneer in introducing Malbec to Switzerland, creating unique blends often ranked among the best in the world. Distinctions and Awards : Jean-Michel has received more than sixty awards for his wines, including several distinctions for the world’s best Chardonnay, the best Swiss white wine, and the world’s best Merlot. His wines are regularly compared to the greatest international vintages and are often judged superior in blind tastings. Philosophy of Life : Jean-Michel does not seek quantity, but excellence and rarity. For him, wine is a luxury to be fully savored, a work of art destined for an elite who knows how to appreciate fine wine and fine food. He considers each wine a unique creation, a reflection of nature and his commitment to quality.
