In 1885, the vast majority of aperitifs available were wine-based. A distillery owner, Fernand Moureaux, invented an aperitif drink made by distilling gentian roots. A true celebrity among French aperitifs, Suze owes its renown to two key advantages: an aroma of wild gentian distilling a delicately bitter taste and a slender bottle, designed at the end of the 19th century by Henri Porte. For generations, Suze has been recognized for its traditional production.
