Star anise, thyme, and nutmeg keep fresh figs company as they macerate in red wine vinegar. From this, Laurent Agnès draws an artisanal Fig Vinegar, rich, complex, and warmly spiced, with a beautiful balance between sweetness and tartness. Pair it with foie gras, a terrine, or duck breast, drizzle it over a goat’s cheese salad or a blue cheese, or reduce it into a sauce or a glaze.

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.
