Cassis from Dijon
"Like many French wines and spirits, crème de cassis is subject to local appellation laws. Bottles labeled Crème de Cassis de Dijon contain only blackcurrants grown in Dijon, while Cassis de Bourgogne uses currants grown in the greater Burgundy region. Legislation dictates that the liqueur must have a minimum alcoholic content of 15 percent ABV, and contain at least 400 grams of sugar per liter". -- Vinepair
"The famed créme de Dijon is held in such high esteem that there’s a detailed, four-page document of conditions that must be met for it to be labeled as such,” writes David Lebowitz in Drinking French: The Iconic Cocktails, Aperitifs, and Cafe Traditions of France. He notes that true crème de cassis de Dijon must be made from two types of black currants, which includes a variety known as Noir de Burgundy. This berry is much darker and richer in flavor and color, and using créme de Dijon will add a richer blackberry flavor to your final cocktail. " -- Food and Wine
