Lejay Lagoute use frozen blackberries from Europe, mainly Serbia as there is simply not enough fruit available in France. Frozen fruit is used due to its freshness and year-round supply. The fruit is steeped in alcohol and slow filtered only by gravity. It is balanced with 550g of sugar per litre.

Review and Tasting

Appearance

Clear, very dark burgundy red.

Aroma

Very aromatic and perfumed with violet and rose dominating raspberry aromas, like each berry is encased in a layer of old lady's soap.

Taste

Palate explodes with perfumed fruit flavours. Very clean, rich blackberry with pronounced floral notes

Aftertaste

Blackberry fruit tartness and strong lingering floral notes.
