Sab's - Eau de vie de Marc

SAB'S - Le Marc

Marc comes from the distillation of grape stems, skins and seeds which were first macerated and pressed to make red wines. Mostly in Burgundy, it's Pinot Noir, but it sometimes happens that Mathieu receives chardonnay marcs!
Marc is an aromatic bomb that we like to compare to mezcal. Very versatile and rustic, it was once sold as expensive as excellent Cognacs!
This Marc was aged for 6 years in Burgundy barrels then Mathieu finished in Cognac barrels.
Rich and dense nose. Powerful notes of fruit and grape juice first of all. Fresh wood and sap on the finish. On the palate, the marc has a crunchy and full taste. Woody at the beginning then comes a very long, delicious vanilla and liquorice finish.

🍸 It will make a wonderful digestive, but also an excellent Penicillin!

It's already been four years since our friend Mat' Sabbagh aka Sab's, took over the Pigneret family's traveling still in Beaune. Through perseverance and passion, he revives the village squares of this beautiful Burgundy that we adore, bringing together the winegrowers for a morning snack next to the still which distills lees and marc from the end of the harvest until the end of winter.

The profession of distiller and itinerant distiller is in the process of disappearing. Fifty years ago, there was one distiller per village in Burgundy. Today, there are only around ten left to perpetuate this tradition.
Sab's is the last traveling still in Burgundy, it distills all the best grapes of the region. The Distillery is based in Beaune, capital of great Burgundy wines. After the sale of the wines, they begin the winter tour which takes them from Paris hospital to Pommard, via Moroges.
They distill the marcs and wine lees from the most beautiful terroirs of Burgundy. They are also among the last to produce the AOC Marc de Bourgogne and Fine de Bourgogne.
