Crafted in Dijon, France, since 1841, LeJay is the definitive French blackcurrant liqueur that set the standard for a historic category.\u003cbr\u003eBorn from a heritage of uncompromising quality, LeJay is made using a meticulous cold-maceration process of 100% French blackcurrants. It combines two legendary varietals: the rare, deeply aromatic Noir de Bourgogne and the sweet, juicy Royal de Naples. The result is a remarkably pure, velvety liqueur that captures the true essence of fresh fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e36 Proof (ABV 18%)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}' class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\"\u003eTHE DISTILLERY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-6 span-6\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1673299613818_96\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-text-ready\" data-aspect-ratio=\"84.01727861771057\" data-block-type=\"5\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_67_1447045667801_5221\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1673299613818_95\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-block-outer-wrapper\n          layout-caption-below\n          design-layout-inline\n          combination-animation-none\n          individual-animation-none\n          individual-text-animation-none\" data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1673299613818_94\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"sqs-block-image-figure\n              intrinsic\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1673299613818_93\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-block-wrapper\" data-animation-role=\"image\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1673299613818_92\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-image-shape-container-element\n              \n          \n        \n              has-aspect-ratio\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1673299613818_91\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was in 1841, in Dijon in the heart of\u003cbr\u003eBurgundy, that Auguste Denis Lagoute created\u003cbr\u003ethe original Crème de Cassis.\u003cbr\u003eHenri Lejay, who married Elisabeth Lagoute,\u003cbr\u003edaughter of the founder, quickly made his mark\u003cbr\u003ein the family House.
