Vedrenne has been making liqueurs since 1923 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the heart of Burgundy, initially winning recognition for the outstanding quality of its Crèmes de Cassis and fruit liqueurs. Now widely regarded as the third leading French producer of fruit and cocktail liqueurs, and the leader in the upmarket segment for bartenders, mixologists and connoisseurs, Vedrenne combines over a century of expertise with modern processing techniques across a wide range spanning liqueurs, aperitifs, fortified wines, fruit eaux de vie and syrups. The brand operates a museum devoted to Cassis at its main production site, alongside a smaller, more experimental distillery in the Dordogne/Périgord region, and its liqueurs receive numerous international awards each year for exceptional quality.

The mirabelle plum has real regional pedigree in France — grown predominantly in Lorraine, in the northeast of the country, it became the first fruit in France ever to receive Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) status, in 1996, a formal guarantee of its origin and specific character. Vedrenne's liqueur is built on a genuine mirabelle eau-de-vie base rather than simple flavouring — the house rigorously selects its mirabelles specifically to craft what it calls a "unique and intense taste," giving this liqueur real depth compared to more generic stone-fruit liqueurs. That authenticity comes through clearly in the finished product, described independently as delivering genuine "cherry plum tart" character rather than a flat, one-note sweetness. It's a versatile addition to sparkling or white wine for an elevated aperitif, or shaken into cocktails alongside other spirits and fruit juices. As part of Vedrenne's range of more than 30 cocktail liqueurs, built on Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant-certified craftsmanship, it's a genuinely distinctive, regionally significant French fruit liqueur for any serious bar.
