Joseph Cartron
The Joseph Cartron House is a family business since 1882, with roots deep in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the heart of the Burgundy's grand cru vineyards. For well over a century, the Joseph Cartron family company has developed fruit liqueurs and distilled traditional eaux-de-vie (fruit brandies) of the highest quality, while keeping up with modern technology. Preserving and enhancing the original flavor of the fruits is the skill of a renowned distiller. This results from experience and rigorous care, right from the start of the harvest. The fruit must have a strong aromatic content; this can really only be found with the traditional varieties and because every harvest is different, each production involves immense care.

This liqueur is always used as a component in cocktails for its original colour and its lemon taste.
