Crème de Myrtille (Blueberry) Edmond Briottet 18%

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, liquors, brandies and marcs de Bourgogne. The current managing director, Gérard Briottet, represents the fourth generation, and maintains the tradition started by his great grandfather, Edmond Briottet. Maison Briottet maintains a very high level of quality. It is the selection of the ripest fruit from the most suitable cultivars that provides for the finest flavours; therefore contracting the right growers to produce the correct fruit is the first step on the ladder. Subsequently, properly 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 create these excellent crèmes and liqueurs.Originally from Eurasia and North America, bilberries – also called blueberries or whortleberries – grow in mountain areas at altitudes of 1000m. They are the size of a pea and are blue / black in colour. Crème de Myrtille can be used in a multitude of ways - it can be mixed with white wines, crémants and champagnes, included in cocktails, or poured over ice creams and desserts, its finesse and authenticity are quite outstanding.
