Peak of the brand. Monéger becomes a staple of regional apéritif culture before fading away.
Liza Dignac revives Maison Monéger
Based in Égletons, in the heart of Corrèze, Liza Dignac leads Maison Monéger with a simple conviction: gentian still has a lot to say. Her approach is contemporary, rooted in her land and open to Europe — far from folkloric clichés, close to a scientific and cultural reality that few brands dare to embrace.
