Tasting Notes
Color: Garnet-red and opaque, violet colored legs in the glass. Brilliant intensity.
Aroma: Powerful and dense. Fruit concentration is exceptional with a sensation of stewed fruit. It is fruit in its purest form.
Palate: Full, round and generous with a suave, velvety and silky feeling. The fruit is of great maturity but without excess. The finish is pure and extensive with a soft mouthfeel.
History of Joseph Cartron
Built on the bedrock of the iconic French liqueur Crème de Cassis de Bourgogne, Joseph Cartron has been producing benchmark fruit liqueurs in Burgundy since 1882. Over time, the Cartron range has expanded to over 40 expressions as well as the world’s first Burgundian vermouths. Cartron created an array of classic French liqueurs, but the company distinguished itself with an expression made from local blackcurrants, known as Crème de Cassis de Bourgogne (a category awarded Geographical Indication in 2015). Joseph passed the company to his brother Armand in 1940, and subsequent generations of the Cartron family have continued to operate and grow the brand ever since, expanding its range of available spirits and liqueurs and introducing Cartron to the world beyond the hallowed slopes of Burgundy—all while maintaining an emphasis on quality and the celebration of terroir.
