Since 1836, Maison Briottet has been synonymous with artisanal liqueur excellence, rooted in the historic city of Dijon in Burgundy, France. What began as a wine trading business gradually transformed into one of the world's most respected families specialising in fruit crèmes, liqueurs, brandies and blackcurrant-based crèmes, with an emphasis on traditional methods, quality ingredients and a deeply authentic flavour profile.
Even now, six generations of the Briottet family continue the legacy. The founders recognised early the potential of Crème de Cassis (the blackcurrant liqueur for which Dijon is famed), and by the turn of the 20th century, the family business shifted focus entirely toward perfecting that niche. The current leadership, based in Dijon, maintains small-batch production, carefully sourced fruit and full control over every stage – from maceration to bottling.
What truly sets Briottet apart is its commitment to craftsmanship, heritage and terroir. Their Crème de Cassis de Dijon is made using 'Noir de Bourgogne', a blackcurrant varietal harvested in Burgundy, and the fruit is handled with utmost care - harvested locally, followed by two months of maceration in neutral alcohol, filtration, infusion, addition of sugar, and hand labelling in certain formats. This care, combined with the family's dedication, earned the brand the prestigious Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label.
From classic flavours to more adventurous creations, Briottet's liqueurs are beloved in cocktail bars, kitchens, dining tables and gifting experiences alike. If you seek a spirit that captures the rich perfume of fruit, the elegance of French craft, and generations of perfected technique, Maison Briottet is a name to know and to savour.
