Joseph Cartron

Joseph Cartron is a benchmark Burgundy liqueur house based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, producing classic fruit liqueurs since 1882. Its calling card is Crème de Cassis de Bourgogne, built around Noir de Bourgogne blackcurrants sourced from the slopes around Nuits-Saint-Georges and handled with a fruit-first approach that prioritizes aroma, concentration, and length.

Cartron’s style favors traditional maceration and infusion methods tailored to each fruit, capturing depth without drifting into artificial sweetness or candy notes. The result is a bartender’s workhorse portfolio, led by a cassis that performs cleanly in classics like the Kir and Kir Royale and holds its character in modern cocktail builds.

The range includes dozens of fruit and non-fruit liqueurs at an approachable price and incomparable quality, with temperate fruits grown locally in Burgundy.
