Aromatic Journey

Briottet Crème à la Fraise des Bois isn't your average strawberry liqueur. Forget the artificial sweetness often associated with fruit-flavoured spirits. Instead, prepare to be enveloped by a complex and enticing bouquet. The moment you uncork the bottle, a burst of fresh, wild strawberries fills the air. Imagine strolling through a forest after a summer rain, where the sweet fragrance of sun-warmed berries mingles with the earthy notes of damp leaves and moss. Hints of floral meadows peek through, adding a touch of elegance to the aroma.

On the Palate

The first sip of Briottet Crème à la Fraise des Bois is a revelation. The liqueur explodes with an intense yet balanced flavour of wild strawberries. Unlike cultivated varieties, wild strawberries boast a more concentrated sweetness, with a touch of tartness that keeps the palate lively. Briottet's expert crafting process captures this essence perfectly. The spirit is luscious and smooth, with a subtle creaminess that adds depth without being cloying.

As the liqueur lingers on the tongue, a delightful surprise emerges. Delicate notes of wild herbs and peppery spice gently unfold, adding complexity and intrigue. These subtle hints echo the natural environment where wild strawberries grow, further enhancing the authenticity of the flavour profile.

The Briottet Legacy

Since 1836, the Briottet family has been renowned for producing exceptional liqueurs in Dijon, France. Their Crème à la Fraise des Bois is a testament to their dedication to quality and craftsmanship. The liqueur is made using a time-honoured method of maceration, where wild strawberries are steeped in a neutral alcohol base. This allows the fruit's natural essence to be fully extracted, resulting in an intensely flavoured and aromatic spirit.
