Cartron Crème de Cassis de Bourgogne is a classic blackcurrant liqueur from Joseph Cartron in Burgundy, France — made from the region’s prized blackcurrants into a deep, opaque, violet-rimmed liqueur with strong viscosity and brilliance. The essential ingredient in a true Kir and Kir Royale, and a versatile addition to cocktails and desserts.

Burgundy (Bourgogne) is the spiritual home of crème de cassis, and Joseph Cartron is one of its benchmark producers. The liqueur is built around the warmth and freshness of the fruit, balancing sweetness and acidity with a pronounced fruit-purée character and exceptional length.
