The Rataf
The Harvesters’ Drink – 20% ABV
Ratafia is the perfect harmony between the sweet softness of the fruit and the strength of distilled spirits.
Our version is the result of blending fresh Aligoté grape juice from Meursault with a Fine distilled in Pommard in our own still.
This authentic and traditional drink was once the harvesters’ companion, offering the comfort of natural grape sweetness and the strength of eau-de-vie after a long day of work.
Ratafia exists in various forms across all French wine regions, but it has unfortunately almost fallen into obscurity.
- As an aperitif, served chilled with ice and a splash of sparkling water.
- In food pairings, especially with cheese.
- And of course, as a base or modifier in cocktails, staying true to our mixology tradition.
- Palate: Exotic notes, subtly enhanced by Pinot Noir and Chardonnay eau-de-vie.
The label, designed by our friend and illustrator Frédéric Bernard, tells the story of this product: “from Meursault to Beaune via Pommard, from the vineyard to the distillery via the still.”
