Cabanel : Crème de Citron

Characteristics and tasting advice for Crème de Citron de Cabanel

Tasting

Appearance
Crystal-clear brilliance, a golden amber hue with honeyed highlights, revealing a generous, elegant viscosity.

Nose
The nose stands out for its vibrant freshness of freshly cut lemon and citrus zest, gradually enriched by floral notes (orange blossom), honey, and a subtle Provençal minerality. Aeration reveals vanilla and thyme honey.

Palate
The attack is round and silky, with well-balanced acidity. The lemon flavor leads, supported by honey and a light, noble bitterness from the zest. The creamy, enveloping texture lingers through a long finish, leaving a lasting impression of lemony freshness and airy floral notes.

Crème de Citron de Cabanel, a renowned liqueur

The Distillery

The Cabanel Distillery, founded in 1868 in Carcassonne by Joseph Cabanel, is a family-run House of excellence based in the heart of Vaucluse. Benefiting from privileged proximity to local lemon orchards and recognized with numerous international awards, this independent company is committed to intentionally limited production to preserve the excellence of its cuvées.

An artisanal liqueur crafted from fresh Provençal lemons

Crème de Citron de Cabanel is an artisanal liqueur whose production combines extended maceration of zests and fresh juice with copper pot-still distillation, followed by a light measure of cane sugar. Its naturally obtained hue and the absence of coloring attest to the authenticity of the artisanal process and the quality of the raw materials.
