Sablière is shaped by many curious minds.
Its composition draws on different disciplines and distant places – the ingenuity of a winemaker in South Africa, the insight of a microbiologist in Denmark, the knowledge of a tea master in Nepal.
We think of those who shape the life of the cuvées as Co-Architects of the House.
In another century, Madame de la Sablière hosted salons where scientists, poets and philosophers gathered to exchange ideas. The House continues that tradition.
Once a cuvée leaves our Cuverie, it begins a second life in the hands of those who serve it – chefs, sommeliers, hosts and thinkers who interpret flavour in their own way.
At Brown’s Hotel in London, Sablière is served as an apéritif in Charlie’s Bar, where Wine Director and Advanced Sommelier Wieteke Teppema explores how the cuvée opens an evening – its tension sharpening the palate, its quiet lift setting the tone for what follows.
At The Balmoral in Edinburgh, Executive Pastry Chef Ross Sneddon has begun experimenting with Sablière in the kitchen itself – most delicately in a gold-leaf gelée, where its aromatics are recomposed into something entirely new.
Sablière moves easily between worlds –
a gift brought to a table,
a glass beside afternoon tea,
a pairing in a quiet dining room,
or the bottle opened at home, as conversation unfolds into the evening.
Each moment shaped by those who gather and those who serve – in that shared lift, the House takes form.
