Gabriel Boudier Creme de Cassis de Dijon is an authentic Burgundian blackcurrant liqueur crafted in Dijon, France, the historic heartland of cassis production. Founded in 1874, the House of Gabriel Boudier has built its reputation on traditional maceration methods and meticulous fruit selection. Made exclusively from premium Noir de Bourgogne blackcurrants, this Creme de Cassis de Dijon captures the intense aroma, vibrant acidity, and natural sweetness that define true Dijon cassis. Rich, concentrated, and beautifully balanced, it remains a benchmark for quality in both classic French aperitifs and contemporary mixology.
Traditionally enjoyed in a Kir (with white Burgundy) or a Kir Royale (with Champagne), this liqueur delivers depth and authenticity that elevate simple ingredients into elegant serves. Its natural fruit intensity and refined sweetness make it equally suitable for cocktails, dessert pairings, or drizzling over ice cream.
