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. Following the development of the blanc cassis aperitif (white wine with Creme de Cassis), the company progressively focused its activities on producing fruit cremes, liqueurs, brandies and marcs de Bourgogne. Briottet’s liqueurs are acclaimed by the world’s best bartenders to create unique cocktails. Briottet Liqueur de Melon is made exclusively from Cavaillon melons, a type of charentais with smooth grey-green rinds and a very fragrant orange flesh. These are macerated in a mix of water and alcohol for over 2 months prior to the infusion being sweetened with sugar. Fresh and fruity, with pronounced notes of ripe melon. There are also hints of honey and floral notes that add complexity and depth. Rich, sweet and well-balanced, with the flavour of ripe melon taking centre stage. The finish of is long and smooth, with the melon flavor lingering on the palate. There is a subtle warmth that develops as the liqueur fades, leaving a pleasant and satisfying aftertaste.
