Giffard Crme de Pche de Vigne is a delicate, fruit-forward peach liqueur that captures the essence of vineyard-grown peaches both the lush flesh and the subtle skin/vegetal tones. At modest strength, it offers a silky, rounded peach character with floral & citrus accents and enough sweetness to shine in cocktails or as a finishing touch.

Origins & Key Details

Tasting & Flavor Profile

Element Notes Aroma / Nose Silky peach flesh, ripe and sweet; floral hints; light citrus zest; also gentle vegetal notes from peach skin. Palate / Taste Lush, sweet peach flavour that closely resembles eating a peach both flesh and skin; juicy and rounded, with a fresh lemony acidity and mild almond or stone fruit undertones. Finish / Aftertaste Sweet peach lingers, accompanied by floral echoes and a soft fade of acidity; not cloying if stored and consumed reasonably.

Strengths & What Makes It Stand Out

• It has more complexity than many basic peach liqueurs because of the vine peach origin the fruit is more flavorful, giving both flesh and skin character.

• Balanced: sweetness is high, but acidity and fruit-skin (vegetal) notes keep it from being one-dimensional.

• Attractive color and high fruit fidelity (it tastes like good peach) make it versatile in cocktails where the peach flavor should be front and centre.
