Origins & Craftsmanship
Maison Trnel Fils is a traditional Burgundian producer renowned for its fruit liqueurs, drawing on regional expertise in crafting crme-style liqueurs from carefully selected fruit. The house focuses on sourcing high-quality fruit varieties that deliver aromatic purity and concentrated flavor.
For the Crme de Framboise de Bourgogne, Trnel selects aromatic red raspberries harvested between June and mid-July, when the fruit reaches peak sweetness and fragrance.
The raspberries are gently macerated in neutral spirit, allowing the natural fruit flavors and color to infuse gradually into the alcohol. This traditional maceration process extracts the essence of the berries while preserving their bright acidity and vivid aromatics.
The finished liqueur is bottled at approximately 18% ABV, a classic strength for French crme-style fruit liqueurs that balances richness with drinkability.
The result is a deeply colored ruby liqueur with remarkable fruit concentration and finessean expression of Burgundys longstanding tradition of fruit-based aperitif liqueurs.
