SAB'S "La Fine" | Alambic Bourguignon

Located in the heart of Beaune, the capital of the Burgundy wine region, SAB'S L'Alambic Bourguignon perpetuates an ancestral distillation expertise passed down from generation to generation. In the past, each village had its own distiller; today, SAB'S is among the last guardians of this precious tradition. Working exclusively with grape pomace and wine lees from the finest terroirs of the region, the Alambic Bourguignon creates authentic and refined eaux-de-vie.

The SAB'S "La Fine" is crafted from carefully selected Pinot Noir and Chardonnay lees. After precise distillation, this eau-de-vie ages for 8 years in Burgundy oak barrels, then benefits from a 6-month finish in Cognac casks, giving it an unmatched aromatic complexity. Each bottle is hand-sealed with distinctive white wax, a symbol of the house's artisanal commitment.

• Color: Golden, bright, with subtle amber highlights.
• Nose: Powerful and round, the bouquet reveals rich aromas of ripe fruits, followed by a final note delicately reminiscent of rum-raisin.
• Palate: Rich and smooth, the texture is velvety and enveloping. Woody aromas are expressed elegantly, blending delicate roasting notes and subtle exotic accents.
• Finish: Persistent and of remarkable precision, the finish extends the pleasure with woody touches and a slight fruity hint.

The SAB'S "La Fine" is an eau-de-vie best enjoyed neat, in a tulip glass to concentrate its delicate and complex aromas.

It pairs beautifully with a dessert of caramelized fruits, such as a tarte Tatin or poached pears in spiced wine. The sweetness of the fruits perfectly complements the woody and roasted aromas of this exceptional Fine.

At the end of a meal, it will elegantly accompany a blue cheese, like a Bleu d'Auvergne or a creamy Roquefort, where the strong flavors of the cheese balance with the aromatic finesse of the spirit.

For a bolder experience, enjoy this Fine with a premium cigar, where its woody and vanilla aromas will perfectly match the richness of the tobacco.

To fully enjoy its aromas, serve the SAB'S "La Fine" at a slightly cool temperature, around 18-20°C. Use a tulip glass to concentrate the scents and let the eau-de-vie breathe for a few moments before tasting.
