L'Héritier-Guyot Crème de Cassis de Dijon

L'Héritier-Guyot is a historic French liqueur brand deeply rooted in the traditions of Burgundy. Founded in 1845 in Dijon by Louis-Baptiste L'Héritier and his wife Claudine Guyot, the house became famous for its 'Crème de Cassis de Dijon', particularly through their innovative cold-sugaring technique. The brand remains an emblematic producer in the region, known for maintaining high quality standards and using local blackcurrants, notably the 'Noir de Bourgogne' variety.

The production of L'Héritier-Guyot liqueurs continues to be concentrated in Dijon, France. The company manages its own orchards in the Côte d'Or region, ensuring a consistent and authentic supply of fruit for its maceration processes. Over the decades, the brand's ownership has transitioned from family hands to larger industrial groups, reflecting the consolidation of the spirits industry while maintaining its regional identity.

Today, L'Héritier-Guyot is owned by the French group La Martiniquaise-Bardinet, which acquired the brand through its subsidiary Bardinet. La Martiniquaise is one of France's leading independent spirits groups, headquartered in Charenton-le-Pont. Under this ownership, L'Héritier-Guyot has maintained its position as a market leader in fruit creams in France and a significant exporter worldwide.
