No personal experience yet, just got a stick at the CRFG scion exchange this year.
Here is the only info I found online:
harmonyorchards.com: The Le Crème Apricot is a direct descendant from the oldest apricots which were grown in China. At their origin apricots were white green. The fruit was quite fragile and to gain some firmness, the original variety was bred with an old Spanish white variety the Moniqui and a Japanese variety used for pickling the Mume. The Le Crème has a unique honey flavor and very high sugar content reaching 21 to 25 Brix. Because of its off white color this apricot was named “Le Crème” – in French it translates to the cream. After tasting one you will start referring to these apricots as the Crème de la Crème – or the best of the best.
Also a friend of mine spoke with the guy who brought this variety to the exchange, and he said that he likes this apricot very much.
