Marie Brizard Creme De Cassis Cassis De Dijon

Marie Brizard Crème de Cassis Cassis de Dijon is a blackcurrant liqueur from Marie Brizard, one of France’s oldest liqueur houses founded in Bordeaux in 1755 — produced in the Dijon style, the appellation-specific crème de cassis from the Côte d’Or in Burgundy where blackcurrant cultivation has been centered for centuries. Cassis de Dijon carries a protected geographical indication specifying the blackcurrant varieties and minimum fruit content.

Crème de cassis is the essential ingredient in Kir (cassis + white Burgundy) and Kir Royale (cassis + Champagne) — drinks whose origin in Dijon makes the geographical link between the liqueur and its cocktail applications historically appropriate. Marie Brizard’s Dijon expression uses cultivars grown in the Burgundy region and requires a minimum of 400g of blackcurrants per liter, producing the dense, deeply fruity character that distinguishes quality cassis from commodity versions.
