Fresh elderflowers, left in red wine vinegar until it carries their delicate fragrance. Laurent Agnès makes this artisanal Elderflower Vinegar that way, letting the blossoms macerate as long as it takes. Floral, subtly sweet, and elegantly perfumed, it shows a clean, bright acidity. Whisk it into a delicate vinaigrette for young leaves, asparagus, or cucumber, or add a few drops to strawberries or a melon salad.

The Maker

Vinegar cannot be hurried. It asks for time, and in return it gives depth. Since 1998, in Saint-Martin-de-Juillers, Laurent Agnès has devoted himself to the traditional craft of vinegar-making. He makes fine artisanal vinegars with patience, precision, and respect for nature, far from any shortcut. Each bottle reflects the slow work of an artisan who lets the vinegar take the time it needs. His expertise and distinctive vinegars have earned the trust of renowned chefs and of Michelin-starred restaurants across France, where Laurent Agnès vinegars have found their place in the kitchen.
