The Loire Valley's Raspberry Icon
Chambord takes its name from the grand Chambord château in the Loire Valley, where legend says raspberries were first liquefied for French royalty in the 1680s. The modern liqueur honors that story with a genuinely slow process: whole black raspberries and blackberries are steeped twice in French spirits for roughly six weeks, then blended with XO cognac, vanilla from Madagascar, citrus peel from Morocco, honey, and a proprietary mix of herbs and spices. Shop our liqueurs shelf, browse the Chambord range, or pair it with other French spirits for a proper kir bar.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass with an intensely aromatic nose of fresh black raspberry, blackberry jam, and vanilla bean. The palate is rich and velvety — ripe berry compote up front, warming cognac depth in the middle, and a lingering finish of citrus peel, honey, and baking spice. Sweet but structured, with the cognac keeping it from tipping into syrup.
How to Enjoy
Chambord's signature serve is the French Martini — vodka, Chambord, and pineapple juice. It's equally at home in a Kir Royale (a pour over champagne) or a Kir Impérial, and it elevates simple cocktails: try a Chambord spritz with prosecco and soda, or drizzle it into sparkling wine for an easy apéritif.
