Chambord®
Liqueur Royale de France
It is hard to imagine sipping a liqueur more
luscious than CHAMBORD
LIQUEUR ROYALE DE FRANCE. Long a favorite
of King Louis XIV, Chambord is an elegant and refined crème
de framboise. It became an overnight success when introduced in
the United States and was a fixture on back bars moments after its
arrival. Now twenty years later, Chambord is the featured performer
in a large repertoire of cocktails and permanently enrolled in the
must have class.
Appropriately enough, Chambord Liqueur is
made in the town of Chambord, which is located in the center of
France. The liqueur is crafted on a base of neutral spirits that
is infused with a mixture of fresh framboise noires (small black
raspberries), herbs and other fruits. The maceration of fruit is
steeped in cognac; then the infusion is blended and bottled at 33
proof.
Everything about Chambord is sensational.
The intrigue begins with its opaque appearance and extremely deep,
ruby/purple hue. The liqueur has a luxuriously textured, medium-weight
body and a wafting herbal and fruit bouquet. The semisweet palate
is a lavish affair featuring
raspberries, spice, herbs and a taste of honey. The flavors
persist on the palate for a remarkably long finish.
In the hands of the inspired, Chambord has
no creative limitations.
