French spirits - Le Gin By SAB's – L'Alambic Bourguignon
About the Domaine:
L'Alambic Bourguignon (SAB) was established by Mathieu Sabbagh, who introduced a mobile distillery to Burgundy. This innovative approach allows Mathieu to uphold the region's long-standing distillation tradition by moving his distillery from one vineyard to another at the end of each harvest. He distills freshly harvested grapes into delicate and refined spirits, combining traditional French craftsmanship with a modern touch that reflects the unique character of Burgundy.
Elevage (Aging Process):
For this particular spirit, Mathieu macerates juniper berries along with 14 other botanicals, infusing complex and aromatic flavors. Burgundy Chardonnay and Pinot Noir "eaux de vie" are then blended into the mix, which is left to settle for three months in Moscatel barrels. This aging process gives the gin a delicate pink hue and a vibrant, refined character, showcasing the perfect balance between traditional craftsmanship and innovative techniques of L'Alambic Bourguignon.
A truly distinctive French craft spirit, ideal for those who appreciate elegance, innovation, and the unique essence of Burgundy.
