Description

Briottet Liqueur de Fleur de Sureau is an Elderflower Liqueur produced in the Burgundy region of France.

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 Fleur de Sureau is made by macerating elderflower in a pure, neutral alcohol with an added secret ingedient (I have no idea what this is but I am trying to find out) and then sweetening the macerated liquid with sugar. A delicate and light liqueur that is perfect for those who enjoy floral and refreshing flavours. Its subtle sweetness and tartness make it a great addition to any home bar or liquor collection. A great alternative to St Germain Elderflower Liqueur.

Tasting Notes

Briottet Liqueur de Fleur de Sureau is delicate and floral with a subtle hints of elderflower and a slightly sweet scent. The flavour is light and refreshing, with a distinct elderflower taste that is complemented by a subtle sweetness. The liqueur has a mild tartness to it that adds a touch of complexity to the flavor profile. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering floral aftertaste that is not too sweet.
