The history of La Quintinye Vermouth Royal Rouge dates back to the 17th century when Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinye was appointed as the head gardener to King Louis XIV of France. La Quintinye was responsible for creating the famous kitchen gardens at Versailles, and it was here that he began experimenting with the use of botanicals in wine. He created a range of fortified wines that were infused with herbs and spices, and these became known as vermouth.

Today, La Quintinye Vermouth Royal Rouge is produced in the heart of the Charente region of France, using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The wine is aged in oak barrels for several months, which gives it a rich and complex flavour profile.
