Tasting Notes

Ripe white peach, apricot skin, almond blossom. Honey sweetness balanced by wine acidity. Peach-leaf herbal note — slightly bitter, like peach pit. Finish is clean and dry for a fruit liqueur, thanks to the wine base. More vineyard than orchard.

Brand Guide

Benchmark: Rinquinquin à la Pêche ($22-28) — the definitive expression. Alternative: Rothman & Winter Orchard Peach ($20-25). Craft: Gifford Pêche de Vigne ($22-28). The category is essentially Rinquinquin's — other peach liqueurs exist but most are spirit-based, not vin de liqueur.

The Story

Provencal peaches steeped in wine, drier and more serious than peach schnapps.
