Velours de Nuits, Cassis:

The preparation of Velours de Nuits, Cassis comes from a long line oftraditional recipes of Burgundian crème de cassis, which calls for a slowmaceration of black current berries in wine. This best reveals the subtle aromasand wild character of black currant. The alcohol level of 5% allows for the purefruit expression to come through.Cassis can be enjoyed as a traditional Kir, mixing it with a very dry white wine(1/5 cassis to 4/5 white wine). For the sparkling version, simply substitutecrémant blanc de blanc for the still wine. Lesser known, but popular in Burgundy is the cardinal where the same proportion of cassis is added to a Beaujolais redwine.

Special Cocktail :

First we take a canard of sugar soaked in cassis. This is a tradition in France. The French take a sugar cube and soak it in all types of alcohol - with the stronger alcohols like calvados or other brandies, the sugar will help soften the bite. This is not necessary with this excellent cassis but is delicious and a beautiful presentation. We put the canard in the flute and fill it with Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine. A cherry is placed on the top of the flute - with a toothpick holding it over the flute. The cherry can be eaten directly, offered to your amoureux or place it in the flute with the sugar and sparkling wine. The bubbles can push the cherry from the bottom to the top and gravity can let it fall again. In any case, the mix of Crémant, cassis, sugar and cherry is beautiful and an enchanting mix for one of the most romantic of occasions.
