Merlet Crème de Melon Charentais pays tribute to a local variety, renowned for its very specific flavours. 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 Charentais. The fragility of this melon varietal requires all Merlet skills and a special care to its maturity conditions and maceration process, in order to avoid any oxidation of the fresh fruit aromas.
