Since 2015, Merlet Crème de Cassis de Saintonge holds the Geographical Indication status,
in recognition of a unique 30-years expertise in growing blackcurrants and turning them into liqueur. The Charentais terroir imparts unique properties to the Noir de Bourgogne variety, naturally rustic, and limits its yields. The harvested berries are small, but very rich. The berries are soaked in pure alcohol to extract all their flavours, then pressed and filtered. Sugar is added to this natural fruit infusion to obtain the Crème de Cassis de Saintonge.
The full control from the fruits cultivation, the harvest to pick them at the optimum maturity, transformation and bottling, ensure the highest quality of the Crème de Cassis de Saintonge.
