Jeroboam Apricot Liqueur Roulot

Jéroboam Abricot du Roulot

Jean-Marc Roulot, acclaimed winemaker from Meursault whose wines are in high demand worldwide, undertook about ten years ago to rehabilitate the family's old still. A craft of winemaker-distiller that has always existed in the Roulot family... Guy, Jean-Marc's father, was already renowned for his brandies and marc. Jean-Marc reintroduced the maceration and distillation of fruits, including the famous Abricot de Roulot, of which his father had carefully kept the recipe without commercializing it. This is now done with his son, much to our delight!

This Jéroboam of Abricot du Roulot is made from ripe apricots from the Rhône Valley (from the Combier family, to name them). The apricots are pitted and then infused in neutral eau-de-vie. After a few months, the resulting infusion is diluted with water and sugar. It's important to note that this is not just any apricot liqueur. The fruit is not distilled, the alcohol content remains discreet with a liqueur-like approach (25 degrees), and the sugar content is low (170 gms/L compared to 200 to 250 gms in traditional liqueurs). The fruit is vibrant and expressive with a touch of acidity that brings a lot of freshness to the apricot. The purity of the fruit makes it a very digestible liqueur, even addictive!

For what occasion? Enjoy it on a dessert (sorbet) or as a digestif for a final treat!
