Liqueur de Matcha - Boudier

The Liqueur de Matcha - Boudier presents itself in the glass with an intense, luminous green-gold hue that immediately captures attention. Its fine viscosity gently coats the glass, leaving delicate streaks and hinting at richness and aromatic depth.

On the nose, it unfolds a multilayered aromatic profile of freshly whisked matcha, delicate herbal notes and a fine sweetness. Reminiscent notes of white chocolate, subtle vanilla and a touch of roasted nuts join in. Subtle hints of citrus zest and floral accents lend the bouquet an elegant tension. Each new aromatic impression appears precise and clearly structured.

On the palate, the liqueur displays a generous, almost creamy texture that impressively carries the matcha character. Velvety sweetness combines with a finely bitter herbal tea note reminiscent of high-quality green tea. Subtle cocoa nuances, a touch of almond and a hint of caramel round out the flavor profile. The sweetness is harmoniously integrated, while a delicate bitter edge gives the liqueur definition and character.

Structurally, this liqueur is dense, concentrated and remarkably refined at the same time. The acidity is very subtle and primarily supports the refreshing effect of the tea and citrus notes. The tannins are reminiscent of elegant green tea: delicate, grippy and never intrusive. The alcohol, at 20% by volume, integrates smoothly and carries the aromas far into the finish.

As a spirit, the Liqueur de Matcha - Boudier is based on an intensely aromatic composition centered around high-quality matcha from Japan. The foundation is a neutral alcohol that clearly conveys the tea’s delicate notes. The country of origin of this specialty is France, more precisely Dijon in Burgundy, where Gabriel Boudier maintains a long tradition as a liqueur specialist.

Production of Liqueur de Matcha – Boudier

The home of Liqueur de Matcha - Boudier is Dijon, a city in Burgundy with a long-standing culinary tradition. The region has a temperate climate with distinct seasons, which has shaped the creation of high-quality culinary specialties for centuries. The cool to mild weather is particularly well suited to the careful storage of spirits and liqueurs.

However, the decisive aromatic component of this liqueur comes from the Far East: finely ground matcha from selected tea gardens. The tea plants grow in mineral-rich soils whose structure and composition give the matcha its particular depth. Shaded cultivation areas intensify the powder’s green color and characteristic flavor.

Only high-quality matcha is used in the production of Liqueur de Matcha - Boudier. The careful selection of the tea forms the basis of the entire flavor profile. In its country of origin, the tea leaves undergo gentle processing before the fine powder arrives at Gabriel Boudier’s distillery.

Production begins with a harmonious combination of a neutral alcohol base and the matcha. Depending on the recipe, maceration takes place, allowing the tea components to release their aromas, color and structure into the spirit. Time, temperature and the ratio of tea to alcohol play a central role in achieving finesse and balance. This is how the liqueur develops its intense color and characteristic matcha note.

The next step involves blending with sugar to achieve a smooth liqueur texture. This requires particular precision, as matcha contributes both sweetness and bitter, spicy components. Gabriel Boudier’s master distillers adjust this balance with great experience until sweetness, tea aroma and bitterness form a harmonious whole.

Depending on the batch, the liqueur is given a resting period during which the aromas can combine optimally. During this time, the tea, alcohol and sweetness harmonize. The result is a clear, deep aromatic profile without distracting edges. Before bottling, careful filtration takes place to ensure brilliance in the glass without completely smoothing out the characteristic texture.

The style of the Gabriel Boudier house is clearly evident: precision, concentration and a distinctive signature. The distillery in Dijon has enjoyed an excellent reputation for high-quality liqueurs for decades. The Liqueur de Matcha - Boudier follows this tradition while interpreting it in a modern way with a pronounced tea note.

In a cocktail glass, a slightly lower temperature works well, depending on the recipe and whether ice cubes are used.

For storage, a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight is ideal. The bottle should preferably be kept upright, tightly sealed and away from intense odors. This keeps the aromatic profile clear and precise for a long time. After opening, timely consumption is recommended in order to experience the fresh, green tea character in its full expression.
