Distillerie Combier – a star in the Loire

01.08.2024 | Stories

Welcome to the world of Distillerie Combier, a beacon of tradition and craftsmanship in the heart of Saumur, France. Since 1834, this legendary distillery has been perfecting the art of spirit-making, blending rich history with unparalleled expertise.

Combier is renowned for its significant contribution to the spirits world: the invention of Triple Sec. In 1834, Jean-Baptiste Combier crafted the first Triple Sec, a crystal-clear liqueur that has since become a cornerstone in cocktail culture. This pioneering spirit, with its vibrant orange flavor, set a new standard in the industry and solidified Combier’s place in history. There may be many that try, but there’s only one original.

Picture a place where time-honored techniques and cutting-edge craftsmanship harmoniously converge. Here, under the gaze of master distiller Franck Choisne, Combier handcrafts its spirits with meticulous care. The distillery’s iconic alembic copper stills, some designed by Gustave Eiffel’s engineers, are central to this process, ensuring each drop captures the essence of its superior ingredients.

From hand-zesting bitter oranges to selecting the finest local botanicals like Provence fennel and wild peaches, every step at Combier is a celebration of quality. The entire team, driven by passion and precision, harvests elderflower in spring and rose petals in summer, transforming nature’s bounty into liquid art.

Combier’s dedication to excellence doesn’t stop at raw materials. Their rigorous distillation process, combining traditional methods with modern technology, guarantees spirits of unmatched purity and flavor. It’s this commitment that makes their products a favorite among bartenders and connoisseurs worldwide, not to mention right here with us.
