Aromatic Adventure: A Nose for Elderflower

Pour yourself a glass of Giffard Fleur de Sureau Sauvage and take a moment to appreciate its visual appeal. The liqueur boasts a beautiful golden yellow colour with subtle green hues, reminiscent of the elderflower bush itself. As you bring the glass closer, a wave of intoxicating aromas greets your nose. The dominant note is, of course, elderflower, but it's not a one-dimensional experience. Hints of lychee, a tropical fruit with a delicate sweetness and a touch of muscat grape character, peek through, adding an unexpected layer of intrigue. The complexity doesn't stop there. Subtle whispers of spice, like saffron and liquorice, emerge, creating a truly captivating olfactory journey.

A Symphony on the Palate: Where Elderflower Reigns Supreme

The first sip of Giffard Fleur de Sureau Sauvage is a revelation. The elderflower flavour explodes on the tongue, offering a taste that is both fresh and floral. It's akin to taking a walk through a field bursting with elderflower blossoms in full bloom. The sweetness is gentle and balanced, never cloying or overpowering. As the initial rush of elderflower subsides, the underlying fruit notes come into play. The lychee character becomes more apparent, adding a juicy sweetness and a touch of exotic flair. The hint of spice from the nose translates onto the palate as well, creating a delightful warmth that lingers on the finish.
