This large oblong blue fruit, with yellow and melting flesh ripens in October and is grown mainly in Alsace and on the hillsides of Haute-Marne and Haute-Saone.
The brandy produced is known for its lightness, its finesse and even its digestive virtues. It is in particular with plum brandy that a form of tasting has developed, very much in progress at present: the Long-Drink, which has, in a way, rejuvenated the use of brandies and has blossomed the products by expanding the range of their use.
