Pastis 12/12 Édition Golfe de Saint-Tropez, the anise signature of a Mediterranean lifestyle

For those seeking a crafted anise aperitif that is precise and luminous, Pastis 12/12 Édition Golfe de Saint-Tropez is an obvious choice. It answers a very contemporary desire: to marry the authenticity of a traditional recipe with the subtlety of a modern aromatic expression. Here, anise finds the perfect setting in an artisanal blend where fig, almond and orange blossom sketch a flavour profile directly inspired by the Gulf. At 45% vol, the structure is clear, designed to reveal itself when diluted with fresh water. The sweetness, kept below 12 g/L, leaves the spotlight to the brightness of the botanicals and spices. In the glass, the style is assured: caressing breadth, delicate freshness and a lingering finish that evokes late afternoons greeted by the sea breeze. A spirit to elevate the moment without overpowering it.

Harmonious on the palate, lasting pleasure

• Confident balance – The controlled strength of 45% vol ensures a framework that opens beautifully once diluted, revealing a fluid, precise texture.
• Coastal-inspired aromatics – Natural maceration of fig, almond and orange blossom brings a clear sweetness and floral lift without masking the anise markers.
• Measured sweetness – Under 12 g/L of sugar for a clean, readable expression, ideal for those who favour freshness over heaviness.
• Fresh, tangy finish – An elegant, slightly almonded persistence that recalls the mauresque and invites a second glass.
• Enhanced convivial moments – A pastis that naturally fits Mediterranean rituals, encouraging conversation and relaxation with effortless grace.

Artisanal quality and ingredient selection

Pastis 12/12 Édition Golfe de Saint-Tropez draws its identity from a recipe faithful to the spirit of Marseille pastis, revisited with plants and fruits emblematic of the Gulf. The natural macerations of almond, fig and orange blossom support the anise backbone, orchestrated around licorice and star anise. The low sugar level, below 12 g/L, preserves aromatic drive and flavor clarity without heaviness or saturation. At 45% vol, the structure fulfils its role as an aperitif to be diluted, guaranteeing a clear aromatic presence once water is added. Presented in 70 cl, this spirit continues a precise know-how focused on purity of expression and the consistency of a fresh, ample and perfectly defined profile.

Tasting moments and gentle pairings

Serve diluted with fresh water to let the aromatic arrangement unfold with finesse. It pairs beautifully with a sunny terrace, a game of pétanque with friends or an aperitif by the sea. On the palate, match it with olives, roasted almonds, tapenade, anchoïade, crunchy vegetables, or even ripe melon or fresh chèvre. The anise character then dialogues with saline, vegetal and fruity notes, offering a fresh, textured and gently summery tasting experience.

The detail that makes the difference

This pastis asserts a rare personality, less sweet and therefore more transparent, giving the plants and fruits full precision. The Mediterranean signature carried by fig, almond and orange blossom provides nuanced sweetness and a discreet floral refinement. You enjoy a spirit that reconciles exacting standards and pleasure, tradition respected and modernity of taste, with a fresh, persistent finish. At Louvins, we select it for its aromatic consistency and its ability to turn every aperitif into a suspended moment, both convivial and unmistakably elegant.
