Lejay Original, very balance, brings out the freshness and the smoothness of the cassis with its traditional recipe.
Lejay Noir de Bourgogne
Exclusively made from Noir de Bourgogne, this liqueur with a unique profile flavour brings out an intense and vegetal aroma.
Lejay Bitter
Fascinated by blackcurrant and citrus fruits and their aromatic richness, Lejay created a new product, an even more playful version of its classic blackcurrant liqueur.
The result is an original bland, mixing distillates and macerates of blackcurrant berries and buds, combined with the zesty notes of citrus fruit and orange peel, creating an original.
Elaboration
The traditional process for making Lejay Cassis has remained unchanged for nearly two centuries, as its all natural recipe that have never varied : cassis, time and gravity are still its core ingredients. Two varieties of French-grown blackcurrants, Noir de Bourgogne and Black down, are macerated in fine eau de vie, and then enhanced with an exlusive cassis bud infusion, as well as pure crystal sugar. This process brings to Lejay Cassis a unique and distinctive aromatic profile.
