This small-batch, organic cassis liqueur is drawn from estate-grown, Noir de Bourgogne blackcurrants. This local variety of blackcurrant is particular to the Burgundy region and is much smaller and more intensely-flavoured than the common blackcurrant. Vissoux's Crème de Cassis is handmade made from the extract of the blackcurrants that have been macerated in alcohol. It is made without preservatives or colouring and with a limited addition of sugar dissolved directly into the alcoholic juice of the blackcurrant berries at low temperature.
Due to the intensity of the aromatics, the deep colour and concentrated flavour, you can serve this in very small quantities. Considered by some in France to be this country's finest example, if there is a better crème de cassis, we have not tasted it.
