The Brotherhood of the Golden Sabre invites you to join them

The Confrerie du Sabre d’Or (Brotherhood of the Golden Sabre), a prestigious society that promotes the noble art of sabrage and the enjoyment of champagne around the world, will meet for the Second Bangkok chapter on the

8^thApril, 2010 at the Rembrandt Hotel and Towers, Bangkok. 

         A tradition that dates back 200 years, sabrage is the technique of opening a properly chilled Champagne bottle by using a sabre to hit the glass ring at the top of the bottle just below the cork and at the weakest point along the glass seam in the bottle. The technique does not specifically involve extracting the cork, but actually removing the whole top of the bottle: glass collar and cork. To see how it is done, watch this video How to Sabre a Champagne Bottle .

The Confrerie du Sabre d’Or started in France over 25 years ago and currently boasts 30,000 members in 12 different countries. Initiates move up the ranks first becoming a sabreur, then a Chevalier, Officeur, and eventually a Commandeur.

         Come join the brotherhood for a fantastic evening of food prepared by our Executive Chef Eric Lecras accompanied by Champagne and wines specially selected by Quentin Fougeroux. Guests can learn and test their skills in the noble art of sabrage and be knighted as a sabreur.

         The Bangkok Chapter will also welcome members of the brotherhood from France, Germany, and other neighbouring countries at the event.
