Vieux Marc de Bourgogne Edmond Briottet 43%

Wine information: 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 Crème de Cassis), the company progressively focused its activities on producing fruit crèmes, liqueurs, brandies and marcs de Bourgogne. Briottet Vieux Marc de Bourgogne is produced from the distillation of grape pomace from grapes growing in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune regions. The pomace for this brandy has been destalked and subsequently fermented. Whilst not lacking in aromatic qualities the results tend to be bigger, richer, rounder and fatter than other pomace brandies (Marc de Champagne, Marc d'Alsace). Vieux Marc de Bourgogne is aged for at least 5 years in new 228 litre oak barrels. The result is a good roundness and typical taste of the terroir. It can be mixed with Crème de Cassis de Dijon (a Burgundian recipe) or drunk straight after a meal.
