Creme de Peche Briottet

Creme de Peche Briottet:- Tasting Notes: Deep, dark, and borderline savory,

Maison Briottet is a family business, founded in 1836. Originally, the family were primarily negociants of Burgundy wine, involved with ageing, blending, bottling and selling the wines.

Claire and Vincent – Gérard’s children – joined the firm in 2010. They took over from him in 2014, when he retired.
Their goal is to develop the business built up by their forebears by respecting the tradition.

Following the development of the blanc cassis aperitif (white wine with Crème de Cassis), the company progressively focused its activities on producing fruit crèmes, liquors, brandies and marcs de Bourgogne.

The current managing director, Gérard Briottet, represents the fourth generation, and maintains the traditions started by his great grandfather, Edmond Briottet. http://www.briottet.fr/en/maison-briottet/6-generations

Given the growing popularity of the "white wine-cassis" aperitif, Edmond Briottet little by little stopped operating as a wine trader and instead switched over gradually to producing Crème de Cassis.

Since then, each successive generation of the Briottet family has worked at the firm

The combination of the finest ingredients and our expertise enables us to produce liqueurs and creams of the highest quality.

We have more than 50 different liqueurs: the classic peach liquor (crème de pêche), raspberry liquor (crème de framboise), cherry liquor or more original ginger liquor (liqueur de gingembre, rhubarb liquor (liqueur de rhubarbe), bergamot liquor (liqueur de bergamote)...

The difference between creams and liqueurs arises out of the proportion of sugar employed -- a liqueur contains 100 grams of sugar per litre at least, versus 250 grams at least as regards a cream.

The exception that proves the rule is Dijon Crème de Cassis, which contains a minimum of 400 grams of sugar per litre.
