Vedrenne has been making liqueurs since 1923 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the heart of Burgundy, initially winning recognition for the outstanding quality of its Crèmes de Cassis and fruit liqueurs. Now widely regarded as the third leading French producer of fruit and cocktail liqueurs, and the leader in the upmarket segment for bartenders, mixologists and connoisseurs, Vedrenne combines over a century of expertise with modern processing techniques across a wide range spanning liqueurs, aperitifs, fortified wines, fruit eaux de vie and syrups. The brand operates a museum devoted to Cassis at its main production site, alongside a smaller, more experimental distillery in the Dordogne/Périgord region, and its liqueurs receive numerous international awards each year for exceptional quality.

Vedrenne builds this liqueur around a genuinely specific, historic ingredient: the "Royal" apricot variety, named in tribute to Louis XVII, chosen deliberately for its high natural sugar content and delicate flavour rather than a generic apricot blend, then infused alongside real Madagascar vanilla for added depth. Independent tasting panels have specifically noted it's lighter in both colour and style compared to other apricot liqueurs on the market — a deliberate, more restrained character rather than the deeper, jammier profile some apricot liqueurs lean into, giving bartenders a genuinely distinct option depending on the style they're after. As part of Vedrenne's range of more than 30 cocktail liqueurs, described by one specialist US importer as "the apex of the liqueur category," it reflects the same century of maceration expertise behind the house's celebrated Crème de Cassis. A versatile, elegant apricot liqueur well suited to lighter cocktails, aperitifs with sparkling wine, or simply sipped over ice.
