Pavan Liqueur de France (75cl, 18%)

A French liqueur from Frontignan in southern France, produced by Louis Royer SAS. It is made from small Muscat grapes grown in the AOC Frontignan appellation, fortified as a vin de liqueur, aged one to two years in oak casks dating back to the 19th century, and finished with Mediterranean orange blossom. The base is Muscat grape juice fortified with Muscat eau-de-vie before fermentation converts its sugars, locking in the grape's natural sweetness and aroma. The century-old casks add depth without heaviness, and citric, wine-like acidity keeps the palate fresh. It is bottled at 18% ABV in a 750ml bottle and is named for the 16th-century peacock dance.
