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.
Like all precious perfumes, Joseph Cartron’s Liqueur de Violette is made from from Violet Absolute, obtained by grinding the best leaves imported from Egypt.
Delicious on ice. Essential in the making of numerous cocktails. Ideal to enhance desserts.
