Known in China since at least 2000 BC, the sweet round fruit with a single stone, soft downy skin, golden red-yellow, the peach draws its Latin name from its passage through Persia (persicum), before finally being introduced into Europe by the Romans.

Its smooth sweet flavour is wonderfully restored by Crème de Pêche Briottet, Crème de Pêche will add delicate flavour to white wines, crémants et champagnes, as well as ice-creams, sorbets and fruit salads.
