SAB'S "The Pear" | Alambic Bourguignon

SAB'S "La Poire" | Alambic Bourguignon

Located in the heart of Beaune, the capital of the Burgundy wine region, SAB'S Alambic Bourguignon passionately perpetuates the ancient art of artisanal distillation. In the past, each village had its own distiller, and today, only a few artisans continue this tradition with dedication and passion. The Alambic Bourguignon carefully selects fruits of exceptional quality, precisely processed to extract their purest essence and offer eaux-de-vie with great aromatic finesse.

The SAB'S "La Poire" is made from ripe Williams Pears carefully selected from the south of Burgundy. Each fruit is stemmed and deseeded to ensure maximum aromatic purity. After meticulous distillation, this eau-de-vie rests before being bottled and sealed manually with a distinctive green wax. This attention to detail reflects the Alambic Bourguignon's commitment to preserving the authenticity and quality of every drop of this creation.

• Appearance: Clear and crystalline, with a brilliant transparency.
• Nose: Intensely fruity, dominated by a powerful scent of ripe pear, accompanied by fresh and slightly peppery notes. In the background, a subtle vanilla touch adds an extra elegance.
• Palate: Precise and straight, this eau-de-vie reveals a vibrant and fruity attack, followed by a lovely roundness and balanced aromatic complexity. The pear aromas are omnipresent, supported by a hint of spice and a vanilla sweetness in the finish.
• Finish: Long and persistent, marked by a beautiful fruity freshness and a subtly spicy touch.

The SAB'S "La Poire" is a delicate eau-de-vie that can be enjoyed pure, to fully appreciate its refined aromatic palette. Served well-chilled, it will be perfect to conclude a meal with an elegant and fruity note.

This eau-de-vie pairs beautifully with a pear dessert, such as a Bourdaloue tart, where the flavors of poached pear with almonds harmonize with the fruity and spicy aromas of the spirit. It will also enhance an intense dark chocolate fondant, where the contrast between the richness of the chocolate and the fruity freshness of the eau-de-vie creates an exceptional tasting experience.

For a more daring pairing, it can accompany a blue-veined cheese, such as a creamy Roquefort, where the fruity sweetness and peppery hint of the eau-de-vie perfectly balance the cheese's strong character.

For optimal experience, serve this eau-de-vie well-chilled, around 8 to 10°C, in a tulip glass to concentrate its delicate aromas. Allow it a few moments to open up before tasting.
