THE HOUSE'S CRAFTSMANSHIP
In its quest for excellence, Maison Gabriel Boudier is committed to preserving its artisanal expertise. This begins with the meticulous selection of fruits, where expertise and rigor come together to create liqueurs of unparalleled quality.
Then, delving into the subtle art of manufacturing processes such as maceration and distillation, each step is a tribute to precision and passion, resulting in exquisite aromas and an unparalleled tasting experience.
The choice of fruits : The authenticity of taste
Maison Gabriel Boudier pays extreme attention to the selection of its fruits, sourced from the most refined varieties, with precise criteria and strict internal laboratory controls, particularly regarding ripeness.
High quality standards
The company has a strong culture of quality and closely monitors numerous indicators.
The highest standards of Dijon blackcurrant liqueur are applied to all the house’s fruit liqueurs.
The quality of the sugar and the dosage
Maison Gabriel Boudier uses the perfect amount of beet sugar to craft its fruit liqueurs.
The precision of the dosage plays a crucial role in the quality and balance of the final product.
Maceration
This expertise involves achieving a homogeneous blend between the fruit and alcohol.
The fruits are macerated in Vinimatic rotating tanks for a period ranging from one day to several weeks.
At the end of the cycle, the result is an infusion colored and flavored solely by the natural fruits.
Operational excellence
Gabriel Boudier masters the art of maceration and distillation to deliver the maximum aroma in each of its creations.
Distillation
Distillation separates volatile elements from aromatic substances through a controlled heating process.
This results in the extraction of the alcoholate or distillate. Gabriel Boudier uses two types of stills for distillation: the steam still and the pot still.
