In 1882, Joseph Cartron founded the eponymous House in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Supplier of Burgundian drinking establishments, the young company distributes the essential lemonades and seltzer water and also manufactures anthology liqueurs such as Sloe, Maraschino, Cacao, Kummel, Ideal Bourguignon or Bisette.

​

But what distinguished this small family business from the start was the creation of the crème de cassis Double Crème called at the time “Double crème de cassis Cartron” as a natural recognition of the authenticity and originality of this product in the very cradle of crème de cassis.
