LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The gold standard for fruit liqueurs. Unlike simpler berry spirits, Chambord's use of real fruit, honey, and aged cognac gives it a structural depth that makes it feel like a true luxury in the glass.

The Library Note

Inspired by a legend that a raspberry liqueur was presented to King Louis XIV during a visit to Château Chambord in the 17th century. Produced in the Loire Valley, it is a sophisticated blend of berry infusions, honey, and fine cognac, designed to offer a taste of royal luxury.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Bountiful berry aromas. Rich scents of blackcurrant, raspberry jam, and a sophisticated hint of vanilla and oak.

THE PALATE

Round and lush. Exploding flavors of black raspberry and honey are complemented by a velvety mouthfeel and a touch of citrus zest.

THE FINISH

Smooth and slightly dry with a lingering berry-and-vanilla warmth.
