ABATILLES The Grand Cru insider tip at Vinexpo

ABATILLES The Grand Cru insider tip at Vinexpo

The history:
In 1923, the engineer Louis Le Marié encountered water while searching for petroleum in the Abatilles region, which was officially confirmed two years later by the French Academy of Medicine and the State itself, whereupon the ABATILLES Spa Company was founded.

Since then, 70,000 liters of spring water have been gushing out every hour, shooting up 8 meters in the process. This makes this source one of the top ten in France. This pressure allows the water to be sent directly to the bottling plant, preserving its natural properties.
Because of its Breton origins, the engineer named his spring "Sainte-Anne" after the patron saint of Brittany.

The source:
The ABATILLES source is located in the south-west of France in the Bordeaux region near Arcachon Bay, surrounded by beautiful landscapes with the sea, pine forest, miles of sandy beaches, oyster beds and the highest dunes in Europe. Its natural mineral water has been pumped from a depth of 472m for almost a century.
Arcachon is cut off from the industrial life of the world. The source can be found at the mouth of the Garonne and Gironde behind wide agricultural areas. The vines of today's most highly decorated wines in the world, those of the Châteaux des Bordelais, which have been classified for centuries, also drink this water.

The geographic location, the depth of the aquifer, and the many geological layers of sand, limestone, and clay through which the water flows naturally filter out any excess. ABATILLES therefore has a very low dry residue of 354 mg/l (TDS, i.e. dissolved substances) and thus its unique properties and exquisite taste.

ABATILLES, with its natural qualities and purity, does not undergo any treatment or processing before bottling.

ABATILLES means something special and enduring to the people of the Gironde region. It is the premium water from the Arcachon basin, with its open spaces and fresh air. It tastes of well-being, purity and health.

The water:
Light and naturally pure. Due to its protected environment and the depth of the aquifer, which is unique in France, ABATILLES is one of the few French waters that has absolutely low salinity and zero nitrates.
ABATILLE's overall appearance makes it an excellent choice for wine and food connoisseurs. The still and sparkling versions in the large Bordeaux wine bottle are designed for the tabletop indulgence, attracting attention and are a huge favorite in restaurants and for special occasions.

What water can go better with a Bordeaux than this. Soft and neutral, or exquisitely bubbly, it enhances the flavor of your dishes and wines. It is a favorite among wine connoisseurs and foodies. All Bordeaux travelers love wine, on the beach of Biscay, in Arcachon - the St. Tropez of the French Atlantic.

ABATILLES is now available in many top French hotels and good restaurants.

The awards:
ABATILLES has been the official water of the "Vinexpo" several times in a row and has thus gained international recognition.
The luxury water was awarded bronze at the "taste awards" of the international "Fine Water Society" in Guangzhou in 2017 and 2018.

In just a few years, premium water has established itself as an indispensable part of gastronomic cuisine.

Sustainability:
ABATILLES has an identity closely linked to its region and defined by the relationship with the people. This philosophy is also expressed in the guidelines for the procurement of raw materials and the sale of the products. ABATILLES strives to reduce the C02 generated by the transport activities.
