Blackcurrant liqueur

BLACKCURRANT LIQUEUR

BLACKCURRANT LIQUEUR
Discovered in 1841 as a liqueur. Previously, blackcurrant was mostly cultivated as a table fruit, but also praised for the therapeutic qualitities of its leaves. 
During the 20th century, the blackcurrant cultivation expanded and rationalized to soon concentrate in the area of Côte d’Or.
These days the small black berry bushes cover our plateaux of Hautes-Côtes.

Blackcurrant liqueur is made by infusion. After bursting them gently, the fruit is macerated, cold, on neutral alcohol. This alcohol will, during the 4 weeks of maceration, gorge itself with the colour and aromas of the fruit.
A blackcurrant liqueur needs to be composed of minimum 15% alcohol, 400 grams of sugar and 200 grams of fruit.

The fruits are carefully selected and originate from the two varieties that are most adapted to this fabrication, the Royal of Naples and the Black of Burgundy.

The most known blackcurrant liqueur- based beverage has to be Kir. It is the canon KIR, famous deputy mayor of Dijon in the 40’s, that immortalized this exhilarating beverage, made out of Aligoté and blackcurrant liqueur. Kir can be dry (1/5 Blackcurrant Liqueur and 4/5 Aligoté) or mild (1/4 Blackcurrant Liqueur and 3/4 Aligoté) or “royal” (1/5 Blackcurrant Liqueur and 4/5 sec or brut sparkling wine ) or “cardinal” (1/5 Blackcurrant Liqueur and 4/5 iced Beaujolais).
