Briottet Creme de Prune is a plum and prune liqueur made by Edmond Driottet in Dijon.
Maison Briottet is a family business, founded in 1836, and has been run by the 6th generation of the Briottet family, Claire and Vincent, since 2014. The Maison is located in the centre of the town of Dijon in the Burgundy wine-growing region. Originally, the family were negociants of Burgundy wine, involved with ageing, blending, bottling and selling the wines. Following the development, and massive popularity of the Blanc Cassis Aperitif (white wine with Crème de Cassis also known as a Kir), in the 1900s, the company progressively focused its activities on producing fruit crèmes, liquors, brandies and Marcs de Bourgogne.
Maison Briottet maintains a very high level of quality. It is the selection of the ripest fruit, locally sourced where possible, from the most suitable cultivars that provides for the finest flavours. The first step on the ladder in the process is contracting the right growers to produce the finest, best quality, ripe fruit. Then, at the headquarters, the fruits undergo carefully observed maceration with very pure neutral alcohol and blending with the correct proportion of sugars to achieve the balance between fruit flavour, sweetness, acidity and alcohol to create top of the range crèmes and liqueurs.
Briottet Creme de Prune is prepared from slightly dried prunes d’ente and fully ripe mirabelles.
Briottet Creme de Prune is a rich and flavorful liqueur made from the maceration of prunes. On the nose, it has a deep, intense aroma of dried prunes with a hint of sweetness. The palate is smooth and velvety, with a burst of ripe prune flavor that is balanced with a touch of sweetness. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering aftertaste of prune that is both sweet and slightly tart.
This is a versatile ingredient in cocktails and is also delicious sipped on its own as a digestif.
