Merlet Rockmelon liqueur (Crème de Melon Charentais) pays tribute to a local variety, renown for its quality. The Merlets source their fruits from partner producers who grow their melons a close distance from the distillery, which allows for perfect control of the quality of the product. Thanks to their position as currant growers and winemakers, the Merlets are able to exchange with their partner producers and call on their own expertise to select fruits of optimal ripeness. The flesh of the melon is soaked in pure alcohol to extract all its flavour, then pressed and filtered. Sugar and a touch of Pineau des Charentes are added to this natural fruit infusion to obtain the Crème de melon. Complete control of every stages of the process, from sourcing the fruits and selecting only the ripest to their transformation by Merlet, guarantees, together with the very high concentration of macerated fruits, the intensity and complexity of the final product. Merlet Creme de Melon can be enjoyed on the rocks, with soda water or in the French tradition with wine or Champagne. It is also a fantastic ingredient for a Melon Margarita. TASTING NOTES: A subtle and delicate nose, that will remind you of a freshly cut melon on your summer table, with a good rosé on the side. A complex blend of green tea, mango and very ripe Muscat. On the palate, the freshness of the melon is stunning, with a strikingly lengthy finish.
Winemakers Notes
The Merlet family has been elaborating cognac for merchant houses since 1850. Five generations and over 160 years of experience as distillers have led the family to produce under their own name. Gilles Merlet actually started in the 70’s the cultivation of blackcurrants to diversify the distillery’s activities, and bottled fruit liqueurs first under his own label. It is in 2010, with his sons Pierre and Luc, that they began producing cognac under their brand, alongside their liqueurs. The family owns its own vineyard and distillery, therefore controls its wine sourcing, distillation, ageing, blending and bottling.
