Jean Bourdy Galant des Abesses

Galant des Abbesses has to be just about the most special wine in the world. It is still produced according to the age-old recipe of the sisters of Abbesses in Châteu-Chalon. The juice is collected after pressing, after which it is heated in a copper kettle. At the end of the distillation, 25 herbs are added according to a secret recipe. After cooling, 2 liters are mixed with 1 liter of marc de Jura. This mixture comes in the bottle after 3 years at the earliest. This tasting experience is enriching and surprising at the same time. In the nose we have almond, floral notes, agrum and so much more. In the mouth this wine gives a perfect balance between acidity, fruit and an aromatic rich aftertaste. This unusual and difficult to obtain liqueur wine will positively surprise you if you like to explore. Serve at about 12 degrees.
