Maison Briottet is a family business, founded in 1836. Originally, the family were primarily negociants of Burgundy wine, involved with ageing, blending, bottling and selling the wines. Following the development of the blanc cassis aperitif (white wine with Creme de Cassis), the company progressively focused its activities on producing fruit cremes, liqueurs, brandies and marcs de Bourgogne. Briottet’s liqueurs are acclaimed by the world’s best bartenders to create unique cocktails. Only the most prestigious blackcurrant variety, “Noir de Bourgogne” is used for this flagship product, as it produces the finest aromas and depth of flavour. The berries are harvested exclusively in the Côte d’Or department in Burgundy and macerated in a water and alcohol solution for about 10 weeks. It’s finished off with the addition of a judicious amount of French white sugar. A beautifully balanced, rich and intensely flavoured créme de cassis. High berry tartness cuts through and balances the sugary richness. Silky, ripe, fruity, concentrated and jammy. Finishes long and satiny.
