White Peaches and Acacia
The Blanc is the gentle one of the Guerin range: a sweet white vermouth that drinks like a walk through a Charentais orchard. Where the Dry White is all savory edge and the Rouge brings cherry depth, the Blanc is frank and floral — hawthorn and green anise on the nose, white peaches and acacia unfolding into a long, angelica-laced finish. It won Gold at France's Concours Général Agricole and 91 points from Wine Enthusiast for exactly that poise. Serve it the way the French do and you'll understand why sweet white vermouth is having a moment. See the whole family in our Vermouth Guerin collection and our cocktail essentials.
Tasting Notes
Frank and floral on the nose with a light green touch — hawthorn and green anise developing in the glass. The first sip is soft and warm: white peaches, acacia and angelica evolving through a long, gentle finish.
How to Enjoy
Chilled and neat as an apéritif, or in a White Negroni (gin, Suze, this Blanc) for something genuinely different. It also lifts a simple spritz — soda, lemon, ice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the Blanc and the Dry White?
The Blanc is the sweet white style — softer, fruitier, floral; the Dry White is the savory, mineral, cocktail-forward one. Same house, opposite moods.
Is sweet white vermouth the same as bianco?
Yes — bianco is the Italian name for the pale, sweeter vermouth style; Guerin's Blanc is the French expression of it, built on Pineau instead of neutral wine.
What does the Gold medal mean?
Gold at the Concours Général Agricole (Brussels, 2018) is one of France's most respected agricultural competitions — a serious endorsement for a newcomer brand.
