Gabriel Boudier exports to 72 countries – Japan being one of the most important -and their iconic Crème de Cassis is recognised all over the world. The original Crème de Cassis de Dijon presentation with its square bottle and Art Nouveau label has never changed.
Provides a wide range of liqueurs based around the most famous product of the company Crème de cassis.
Harvested when the first frosts arrive, wild sloe berries from blackthorn bushes which grow on limestone plateaus are left entirely to macerate in gin previously distilled at Maison Gabriel Boudier. All the aromas and colour of the flesh and the stones of the fruit are solubilised in the gin over a period of 5 weeks. Then a small amount of sugar is added to produce this traditional British liqueur
