White Peach Nectar

Alain Milliat White Peach Nectar

Alain Milliat's White Peach Nectar is sweet, soft and elegant, with an intense fragrance of ripe white peaches. This peach variety is juicier and less fibrous than the common yellow peach. Anyone who has tasted the unique aroma of the white peach will immediately recognize and enjoy it here. For this White Peach Nectar, perfectly ripe peaches of this old, delicate variety from the French department of Gers, not far from Toulouse, are hand-picked and gently transformed into this summery nectar.

This delicate apricot-colored nectar will captivate you with its fleshy texture, its freshness and its aromatic power. Alain Milliat's White Peach Nectar, with 50% fruit content, is wonderful as an aperitif with mineral water or topped with sparkling wine for a Bellini.

We recommend enjoying Alain Milliat Nectar from a white wine glass, so that the aromas can unfold particularly well at a cool drinking temperature of 8-12 degrees.

White Peach – Nectar or Juice?

Nectar, what a promising word, which in botany refers to the liquid that comes from the calyxes of flowers, and in Greek mythology, the drink of the gods that bestows eternal youth and immortality. The European Fruit Juice Regulation is less euphoric. It distinguishes between juice and nectar and allows up to 20% of the final product of nectar to consist of sugar, and the fruit content, which can consist of fruit juice or fruit pulp, must be at least 25% depending on the fruit variety, thus classifying juice as higher quality than nectar.

But what does Alain Milliat care about the Fruit Juice Regulation? More good ingredients than the minimum requirements are certainly not forbidden. His nectars therefore consist of 50% fruit content.

Alain Milliat – the Passionate

Alain Milliat, grandson and son of a farmer, and a fruit farmer himself, took over the family business in Orliénas near Lyon in 1983. For 15 years, he respectfully tended to the land entrusted to him, cultivating the best fruit, especially a particularly sought-after cherry variety. In 1997, Maison Alain Milliat launched the project of producing high-quality juices for gourmets. Alain sent the first six juices and nectars to 60 restaurants from the Relais & Châteaux guide and eagerly awaited the reactions of the sommeliers to his creations. And they were enthusiastic. This great idea allowed him to adapt the textures, sugar-acid balances, and colors of his juices to the needs of the restaurants. Driven by his success with gourmet restaurants, with whom he still works today, the passionate producer continues to develop new juices and nectars from special, hand-picked fruits that offer unique taste experiences. Today, Alain Milliat sources his fruits from all over France and beyond, always at optimal ripeness.
