Distillery Info
Burgundy has been part and parcel of the Cartron family history for over two centuries.
Jean Cartron left the west of France during the French Revolution, to settle in Burgundy, at Argilly, a few kilometers from Nuits-Saint-Georges. He soon became a landowner after a marriage with a Burgundian lady.
Then his grandson, Pierre Cartron, father of Joseph, settles in Nuits-Saint-Georges in the early 1870’s. It is in this town that Joseph creates the family business named after himself in 1882 and where it is still established.
It is also Burgundy who inspired his coat of arms with the unicorns as also the wish to achieve taste excellence.
Since 1882, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Burgundy have always been the cradle of the Cartron family.
The Joseph Cartron Pasteque Watermelon Liqueur envokes a sense of summer and childhood with its freshness. Blended with Joseph’s original recipe and the maceration of the pink fruit, the liqueur epitomizes summer.
