Combier Liqueur de Mure

Combier Liqueur de Mûre is a blackberry liqueur from Distillerie Combier in Saumur, which has been distilling in the Loire Valley since 1834 and still runs ten historic copper stills under a still hall engineered by Gustave Eiffel's team. Combier's fruit liqueurs are made the slow way rather than by flavouring a neutral spirit: blackberries grown in the Loire Valley are macerated in neutral alcohol for about four months in the distillery's cellars, then lightly pressed, and the infusion is sweetened and bottled at 20% ABV. There are no stabilisers, preservatives or artificial colours, so the deep colour and the sweet-tart balance both come from the fruit. Combier describes the result as rich and smooth, with the same sweetness and tartness as the blackberries themselves. The distillery is owned and run by Franck Choisne, who joined as general manager in 1994 and later bought it from the Bollinger group, and it holds the French state's Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant heritage label. Use it where you would reach for crème de mûre: a Bramble with gin and lemon, a Kir with dry white Loire wine, or lengthened with soda over ice.
