- The oldest liqueur in France, dating to 1683, this liqueur features almonds and apricots macerated in Cognac.

The idea of macerating them in locally-produced fruit and wine brandies must have evolved fairly early on. These first liqueurs, known as ratafia, were extremely popular for a long time. This can be seen with Noyau de Poissy, as its early origins make it the oldest secular liqueur in France.
