Jules Theuriet Crème de Cassis de Dijon

Jules Theuriet Crème de Cassis de Dijon is a classic French liqueur with a history stretching back to Jules Theuriet (1848-1912), a wine trader in Dijon. His daughter Juliette married Edmond Briottet, who took over in 1912 and began producing Crème de Cassis, eventually under the Briottet name. Today, the sixth generation of the Briottet family continues this tradition in the same 19th-century premises in Dijon, crafting high-quality, artisanal crèmes and liqueurs. Maison Briottet, the producer, is renowned for its Crème de Cassis and has even been awarded the "Living Heritage Company" (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) label by the French State for its exceptional artisanal know-how. The Jules Theuriet branded Crème de Cassis, made exclusively from the "Noir de Bourgogne" blackcurrant variety grown in Dijon and protected by a geographic indication (IGP) since 2015, is a specific line sold primarily in the United States.

Jules Theuriet Crème de Cassis de Dijon, made exclusively from "Noir de Bourgogne" blackcurrants, offers a deep, full-flavored, and aromatic profile. It presents rich, ripe blackcurrant notes with hints of dark cherry and blackberry. This cassis shines in classic Kirs and Kir Royales, and it's a fantastic addition to tequila-based cocktails like the El Diablo.
