Sab's : Liqueur La Poire

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for Sab's La Poire Liqueur

Tasting

Appearance
Clear, clean and luminous, it displays 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 reminiscent of spring blossoms, complemented by a light hint of vanilla and very fine spicy touches 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 persistent, gently evolving towards nuances of pear compote with a subtly spicy hint.

Pairings and Tasting Occasions
Best enjoyed well chilled (between 6 and 10°C), neat or over ice. This liqueur is perfect as a light digestif or as an aperitif. It pairs beautifully with a platter of fresh fruit, pear desserts (tarts, poached pears, crumbles), an intense dark chocolate fondant, or blue cheeses for a daring match.

A Burgundian Pear Liqueur of Great Purity and Velvety Texture by Sab's

Sab's Alembic Bourguignon: The Art of Craft Distillation in Burgundy
Officially founded in 2019 in Beaune, in the heart of Burgundy, the Sab's distillery carries on a historic tradition. Taking up the legacy of the former Pigneret Moroges travelling still, Mathieu Sabbagh, current owner, founder, distiller and president, has brought a contemporary vision to regional distillation. The house stands out for showcasing the pomace and lees of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Burgundy's most prestigious wine estates. By combining this ancestral know-how with a modern demand for drinkability and aromatic purity, the estate creates accessible yet refined spirits. Every creation, whether a classic eau-de-vie or an innovative French liqueur signed Sab's, perfectly embodies this unique meeting between wine terroir and the art of distillation.

The Making of La Poire Liqueur
La Poire Liqueur embodies the unique crossover between Burgundy's wine terroir and the richness of the orchard. This pear liqueur is crafted through the meticulous maceration of red and green Williams pears, stemmed and deseeded beforehand to guarantee absolute aromatic purity and avoid any vegetal bitterness.

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