As is the case as regards all of our crèmes de cassis, for our Dijon Crème de Cassis 20% we use the most prestigious blackcurrant variety. Indeed, “Noir de Bourgogne” variety (meaning Black of Burgundy). Our berries are harvested exclusively in Burgundy in France. The blackcurrant berries are macerated in a water and alcohol solution for about 10 weeks. Maceration gives the best result to extract all flavours from that berries. The alcohol-containing juice thus obtained is called infusion. Then, we add French white sugar to obtain this crème de cassis. This liqueur is our top-of-the-range blackcurrant liqueur due to its high blackcurrant berries content. It is our flagship product and generates our best sales, out of all of our products. Our ancestral know-how means that we produce premium-quality cassis.
Heiress of a wine house, our house was created in 1836. In the 1900s, faced with the growing popularity of the «blanc-cassis» aperitif, Edmond Briottet gradually abandoned wine trading to focus on the manufacture of Crème de Cassis. Since then, generations of Briottet have succeeded each other and the range of liqueurs has been enriched with about sixty references.
