Claude-Alain Bugnon was one of the first clandestine distillers to come out into the open after the Swiss ban on absinthe was lifted in 2005. His absinthe, which is produced with plants of the famous Val-de-Travers region, has won numerous awards: confirming that he is right to continue his strategy of combining craftsmanship and creativity.

His "fairies," La Clandestine and La Capricieuse, are both based on ancestral recipes. Hailing from the famous Val-de-Travers, the birthplace of absinthe, the Distillerie Artisanale Artemisia continues to fan the legend of "la bleue" with the fires of passion.
