Founded in 1850 in the Saintonge region of France, the Merlet family originally specialized in distilling cognac. In the 1970s, Gilles Merlet diversified the estate by planting blackcurrant bushes, pioneering the modern renaissance of premium French fruit crèmes.
Crafted in Saint-Sauvant, the Merlet family sources local Noir de Bourgogne blackcurrants, macerating them in fine neutral spirit to extract peak flavor. This tradition showcases the expertise of a historic house operating their artisanal distilleries and production estates.
