Sab's : Liqueur La Poire

Characteristics and Tasting Notes of the Liqueur La Poire Sab's

Tasting Notes

Appearance
Clear, clean and bright, it offers a crystalline freshness that reflects careful filtration.

Nose
Delicate and intensely fruity, the bouquet is dominated by ripe pear. It opens with subtle floral accents evocative of spring blossoms, complemented by a light touch of vanilla and very fine spicy notes in the background.

Palate
Indulgent and expressive, the attack reveals a velvety texture and great juiciness. The balance is remarkable, neither too sweet nor too round, carrying notes of fresh pear and a touch of vanilla. The finish is long and lingering, gently evolving towards nuances of stewed pear with a subtly spicy hint.

Pairings and Tasting Moments
Best enjoyed well chilled (between 6 and 10 °C), neat or on the rocks. This liqueur makes for a wonderful light digestif or aperitif. It pairs beautifully with a platter of fresh fruit, pear-based desserts (tarts, poached pears, crumbles), an intensely rich dark chocolate fondant, or even blue-veined cheeses for a bold pairing.

A Pear Liqueur from Burgundy of Exceptional Purity and Velvety Texture by Sab's

Sab's Alembic Bourguignon: The Art of Artisanal Distillation in Burgundy
Officially founded in 2019 in Beaune, at the heart of Burgundy, the Sab's distillery carries forward a historic tradition. Building on the legacy of the former Pigneret Moroges travelling still, Mathieu Sabbagh, its current owner, founder, distiller and president, has brought a contemporary vision to regional distillation. The house stands out for its use of pomace and lees from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from the most prestigious Burgundian wine estates. By combining this ancestral expertise with a modern demand for drinkability and aromatic purity, the estate creates spirits that are both accessible and refined. Each creation, whether a classic eau-de-vie or an innovative French liqueur signed Sab's, perfectly illustrates this unique encounter between the winegrowing terroir and the art of distillation.

The Making of the Liqueur La Poire
The Liqueur La Poire embodies the unique crossover between Burgundian winegrowing terroir and the richness of the orchard. This pear liqueur is crafted from a meticulous maceration of red and green Williams pears, carefully stemmed and seeded beforehand to ensure absolute aromatic purity and avoid any vegetal bitterness.

The foundation of this creation rests on a 100% Burgundy base: an eau-de-vie obtained through steam distillation of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir pomace and lees sourced from the finest houses in the region. It is in this vibrant distillate that the fresh fruit macerates, before the blend is completed with a neutral grain distillate and cane sugar. This rigorous process achieves a perfect balance, preserving the fruit's juiciness while keeping sweetness in check.
