Golden and aromatic, with notes of honey, flowers and delicate spices. An artisanal liqueur from Distillerie Pegasus, soft, elegant and ideal as a digestif.
The Liqueur Eau d'Or from Distillerie Pegasus is the brightest and most festive expression from this Burgundian distillery, founded in 2021 at Meursault by Maxime Girardin, offering a sensory journey to the Côte d'Azur from a distillery nestled in the heart of the Côte de Beaune's most prestigious vineyards. Reviving a 17th-century recipe once served at the Court of Louis XIV and reserved for those close to the king, this golden and sunny liqueur invites you to rediscover the art of the French aperitif in a spirit of discreet luxury and contemporary elegance.
Ingredients and production
Eau d'Or is a liqueur of organic citrus fruits crafted from four carefully selected ingredients chosen for their olfactory quality and authentic origin. Lemon, sweet orange, bitter orange and orange blossom, all sourced from the terraces of Menton overlooking the Mediterranean, bring their sunny freshness, aromatic vibrancy and incomparable floral delicacy. These Menton citrus fruits, celebrated for their natural aromatic intensity amplified by sea spray and the Riviera's microclimate, form the absolute aromatic heart of the recipe. Each ingredient is distilled separately in the distillery's iStill stills before precise blending, for an aromatic expression of unmatched finesse and definition. The water used for final blending comes from an underground river captured 152 metres below the distillery, in Meursault's limestone rock, naturally balanced in minerals. Unlike Liqueur Royale, Eau d'Or is not aged in casks, preserving all the natural freshness and vibrancy of the citrus fruits in their most direct and luminous expression. Alcohol content: 23% vol.
Tasting profile
The colour is a luminous, shimmering gold, with immediate clarity and generosity that recalls the golden light of Mediterranean afternoons. The nose shows immediate intensity and freshness, citrus fruits asserting themselves with brilliance, vibrant zesty lemon, generous sweet orange, delicate and complex bitter orange, carried by a touch of orange blossom of absolutely remarkable delicacy and floral finesse. On the palate, the texture is round and balanced, with an explosion of Menton citrus fruits, lovely natural sweetness well tempered by the elegant bitterness of bitter orange and the aromatic freshness of orange blossom. The finish is long and elegant, marked by the persistence of citrus fruits and a subtle floral bitterness that extends the tasting with remarkable persistence and refinement.
The distillery
Founded in 2021 at Meursault by Maxime Girardin, son of Burgundian winemakers, Distillerie Pegasus produces exceptional organic spirits from carefully selected ingredients, water drawn from 152 metres below the distillery in Meursault's limestone rock, and organic Burgundian grains. Each botanical is distilled separately in small batches in state-of-the-art iStill stills before blending. In June 2024, actress Emilia Clarke became the global ambassador for the house.
Tasting and pairings
Eau d'Or is best enjoyed neat and well chilled between 10 and 12 °C, in an elegant wine glass. It features in festive and refined cocktails, the French Touch with Champagne and a touch of lemon, the signature cocktail Le Emilia with Pegasus Vodka, cane syrup and lime juice, or simply over ice with quality sparkling water and a citrus zest. As an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with Mediterranean tapas, a seafood platter or lemon-flavoured canapés. A sunny and festive bottle, ideal for special occasions and moments of conviviality.
