Mathieu Paquet Creme De Framboise 30

The only variety used for Paquet's sublime Creme de Cassis is Noir de Bourgogne. The Noir de Bourgogne is a rustic and low-yielding variety, requiring little sun and tolerant of the cold, but producing berries with explosive, earthy, juicy flavors and concentrated purple-black color. Grown at 1,400' on soils of limestone and clay, the word terroir is the right one to use for the site where this fruit grows. We are way beyond commercial farming here. This classic of cocktails and the kitchen cannot be any better.
