Joseph Cartron Creme Cassis 700mL
Joseph Cartron Creme Cassis is 19% ABV. Balanced, ample and fluid in the mouth, the Joseph Cartron Crème de Cassis de Bourgogne is ideal to make cocktails full of the harmonious presence of blackcurrant. Our blackcurrants, exclusively the most noble of varieties, the Noir de Bourgogne, are chosen with the greatest of care. Grown on the slopes of the Burgundy Grands Crus around Nuits-Saint-Georges, the fruits are harvested early on in summer when at full maturity. Joseph Cartron, very attached to quality, to the local terroir and all its treasures, has patiently built up very strong connections with the local producers of the Noir de Bourgogne variety. These relationships are essential to preserve all the character of this variety with a low yield (roughly 3 to 4 tons per hectare) which requires very caring attention from all the producers.
About Joseph Cartron:
In 1882 Joseph Cartron started creating liqueurs in Argilly, located in Burgundy, France. Cartron still uses only high quality ingredients, absolutely without the addition of any colouring or flavouring. Amaretto is of Italian origin; the name comes from 'amaro', Italian for bitter. The basis for a good Amaretto is fresh, green almonds that are soaked in alcohol for weeks. This is in contrast to major brands, which no longer use almonds. This is why this Amaretto has a special and mildly intense almond flavour.
TASTING NOTES
To the eye: the robe is opaque with black ink tints. Violet coloured, bluey, young rim. Viscosity is strong. Beautiful brilliance.
To the nose: pure and fresh, very aromatic and expressive. The fruit dominates the warmth.
In the mouth: the first wave is suave, ample and round. Good balance of the whole between the sugar and the acidity of the fruit. The sensation of fruit purée wins. The finish is fresh and pure. Exceptional length in the mouth, of roughly 15 to 20 on the caudalie scale.
