White "vine" peaches come from specific plantations which are located beside vineyards. The maceration production process -- the same as that used for grapes -- takes the extreme fragility of the fruit into account. Said fragility explains why so little "vine" peaches are harvested each year, making it a rare and sought-after product. The high quality of Briottet's Special Peach Creme is down to us using a "vine" peach variety which is subtle yet powerful and which is only harvested in our beautiful Burgundy region. You can drink it straight, accompanied by an ice cube, or with a dry or sparkling white wine.
A former wine establishment, the Edmond Briottet firm was set up in 1836. Given the growing popularity of the "white wine-cassis" aperitif, Edmond Briottet decreased 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 Briottet's expertise enables them to produce liqueurs and creams of the highest quality. They have more than 50 different liqueurs including the classic peach liqueur (crème de pêche) and raspberry liqueur (crème de framboise).
The difference between creams and liqueurs arises out of the proportion of sugar employed -- a liqueur contains 100 grammes of sugar per liter at least, versus 250 grammes at least as regards a cream.
