Dating all the way back to 1882, the beginning of the (then) small, Cartron Family business started in Nuits-Saint-Georges, France. The creation of Creme de Cassis Double Creme distinguished the brand with authenticity and originality, and the company started to receive a national reputation. For over a century the Joseph Cartron family company has developed fruit liqueurs and distilled traditional eaux-de-vie (fruit brandies) of the highest quality, while keeping up with modern technology.
Classique is excited to announce that we are now offering three new flavors (trois nouvelles saveurs)! Banana, Elderflower, and Violette will now join the many other flavors of Cartron Liqueurs on our shelf. Bananas from Ecuador give the banana liqueur a rich and inimitable taste. Elderberry flowers from Austria and Hungary give the elderflower liqueur fresh, floral notes. Imported violets from Egypt give the Violette liqueur sweet floral, fruity, and powdery perfume notes. These flavors are sure to please.
