For anyone who's interested in cider and fruit drink history in France,
that's one of the subjects covered in my blog post this week:

Whether the peach was common or not is relative. It's mentioned in texts
from the start of the Middle Ages, but not frequently. Yet, as Ruas points
out, for some reason one finds peach remains fairly regularly in digs.
Otherwise, Aldebrandino advises the juice of peach leaves against worms,
but says nothing about making drink from the fruit itself.

I'm still a bit mystified on why peaches don't show up. It may simply be
that they were being brewed with in eastern Europe but not in the west, in
late period because the peach wasn't common there. Yet.
