Briottet Liqueur de Melon is a melon liqueur made by Edmond Briottet in Dijon, France. Mmade from sweet, ripe melons.
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 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.
Briottet Creme de Melon is fresh and fruity, with pronounced notes of ripe melon. There are also hints of honey and floral notes that add complexity and depth. Rich and sweet, with the flavour of ripe melon taking centre stage. The sweetness is well-balanced and not cloying. 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.
A delicious liqueur with a rich, fruity flavor that captures the essence of ripe melons. It is perfect for adding sweetness and depth to cocktails or as a flavorful ingredient in desserts.
