Located in the heart of Beaune, in Burgundy, SAB'S L'Alambic Bourguignon is the guardian of an ancestral distillation expertise. In the past, each village had its own distiller, but today, only a few artisans continue this tradition. L'Alambic Bourguignon passionately transforms the grape pomace and lees from the most prestigious Burgundy terroirs, producing spirits of great finesse. The house also offers a refined range of Gins and Brandies.

The Fine de Bourgogne "2nd fill peated Islay Bourbon cask finish" is made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wine lees, carefully selected for their aromatic richness. After a traditional distillation, the brandy ages for 9 years in small Burgundy oak barrels, giving it a harmonious woody structure. The final step is a 6-month finish in peated Islay bourbon casks, adding smoky, sweet, and salty notes to the ensemble.
