Confrérie du Sabre d'Or - (Embassy of the United Kingdom and Ireland) Details
The Confrérie du Sabre d'Or is a French Chivalric order dedicated to the enjoyment of Champagne and the noble art of Sabrage - the removal of the cork with a French cavalry sabre!The UK & Ireland Embassy host a wide range of exciting events, both for our members and our Caveaux (affiliated hotels and restaurants). In addition our Maître Sabreurs can be hired out to help with private events.Our history:Two hundred years ago, stylish young cavalry officers in the French Army would slice the cork off the Champagne bottle with their sabre, rather than put themselves to the effort of easing the cork out by hand. There may no longer be dashing dragoons, happy hussars, or lascivious lancers to sabrage the bottle, but the Confrérie du Sabre d'Or has continued the proud tradition. One of the objectives is to recruit Caveaux de Sabrage where one can celebrate this great wine by chopping the top off the bottle and consuming the contents. Oue Embassy and each Caveau can show you how to sabrage, with ranks starting as Chevalier-Sabreurs and progressing to Grand Commander.The organisation was officially established in France in November 1986 by Jean-Claude Jalloux (the Grand Maître, leader of Le Grand Conseil). Although the custom continued for some time in British Cavalry Regiments, it is now encouraged across the world by a society of like-minded Sabreurs - the Confrérie du Sabre d'Or.First set up in the United Kingdom in 1999 by UK Ambassadeur Emeritus, Julian White, the "Brotherhood of the Sword of Gold" has a serious purpose in promoting the enjoyment of Champagne and the lifestyle of fine wining and dining. Opening a bottle with a sabre adds drama to the occasion and the associated fun makes it all the more memorable. It is expected that all Sabreurs pass on this message to Champagne lovers throughout the world!
