Briottet Mêlé Cassis
Briottet Mêlé Cassis is a remarkable revival of a historic Burgundian tradition, created to celebrate the Maison’s 180th anniversary. This unique spirit blends two of Dijon’s most emblematic products: Crème de Cassis de Dijon, crafted from the prestigious Noir de Bourgogne blackcurrant, and Marc de Bourgogne, a powerful brandy distilled from grape marc in Burgundy’s renowned vineyards. The marriage of these two elements creates a liqueur that is both elegant and deeply rooted in regional heritage.
First appearing in the 1870s, Mêlé Cassis was once a popular digestif enjoyed across Burgundy during the 19th century, before fading into obscurity. Vincent and Claire Briottet reintroduced this historic drink to honor their great-grandparents, who savored it at the end of a meal, and to allow today’s enthusiasts to rediscover its charm.
