Brulee Royale

Step back in time to Versailles, where a world of innovation, alchemy & indulgence unfolded deep within the palace walls. Brûlée Royale explores that universe of sweet alchemy, layering flavours of vanilla custard, scorched sugar and freshly opened vanilla pods.

Just as Massialot stoked the flames at Versailles to achieve the perfect caramelised crust, our friends at Independent Stave Co.’s Missouri cooperage employ computer-controlled toasting and charring techniques to coax extraordinary flavours from American white oak with great precision.

Beyond the first crackle of caramel, the nose is lavish with crème brûlée, poached pear and fresh vanilla. The palate thickens into clotted cream, honeyed malt and broiled peaches, before unfolding into tarte tatin richness. A final ripple of nutmeg, burnt toffee and banana split flavours linger in a long, silken finish.
