Lucien Jacobs liķieris Creme de Mure 0,7L

Lucien Jacob Crème de Cassis is a sweet blackcurrant liqueur, crafted from ripe blackcurrants sourced from the Burgundy region of France. This liqueur is known for its rich fruit flavors and balanced sweetness, reflecting Lucien Jacob's dedication to traditional methods and natural ingredients. The Crème de Cassis showcases the intense and vibrant character of blackcurrants, making it a versatile and luxurious beverage.

The grandfather of the current proprietaire, Jean-Michel Jacob, created this domaine based in the village of Echeveronne in the hills above the villages of Pernand Vergelesses and Aloxe Corton. The estate was subsequently, and aggressively, enlarged by Jean-Michel’s father, Lucien, during the 1960s. Lucien was also politically active and served for many years in the National Assembly. The domaine originally specialized in growing cassis and framboise in the Hautes Cotes de Beaune and the prosperity occasioned by this type of farming provided the resources to purchase vineyards in the neighboring villages of Savigny Les Beaune and Pernand Vergelesses. Recently, Jean-Michel Jacob has further expanded the family holdings in the Cote de Beaune to include additional vineyard sites in several 1er Cru vineyards in Beaune. The Jacob domaine now owns nearly 15 hectares of vineyards, 7 of which are planted in the Hautes Cotes de Beaune (in and around the village of Echevronne).

Tasting notes for Lucien Jacob Crème de Cassis reveal a deep, concentrated bouquet of blackcurrants, complemented by subtle hints of floral and earthy undertones. On the palate, it offers a smooth, velvety texture with a pronounced blackcurrant flavor, balanced by natural sweetness and a hint of tartness, leading to a long, fruity finish. This liqueur is celebrated for its depth, intensity, and the pure, authentic expression of blackcurrant fruit.

Lucien Jacob Crème de Cassis pairs beautifully with desserts such as vanilla ice cream, cheesecake, or fruit tarts, where its sweetness and fruitiness enhance the flavors. It also complements sparkling wine or champagne, creating a classic and refreshing Kir Royale cocktail.
