Instrucciones

El Kir es un clásico aperitivo francés hecho añadiendo una medida de licor de grosella negra crème de cassis a una copa de vino blanco, más tradicionalmente Bourgogne Aligoté. El cassis se asienta en el fondo y crea un hermoso color rosado al mezclarse con el vino. Simple, elegante e infinitamente refrescante, es una piedra angular de la cultura del aperitivo francés.
History & Origins
Kir was popularized by Félix Kir, the mayor of Dijon, France, who served it at official receptions throughout the 1950s as a way to promote the wines of Burgundy. The combination of white wine and cassis was already a local Burgundian tradition known as 'blanc-cassis' before Kir gave it his name. The IBA recognizes it as a Contemporary Classic, reflecting its global adoption.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: White wine's crisp acidity and apple-floral notes, with the deep blackcurrant richness of crème de cassis. Palate: Refreshing and moderately sweet — the cassis's berry depth enriches the wine's acidity, creating a perfectly balanced aperitif that is light yet flavorful. Finish: Clean, fruity, and dry, with a lingering cassis sweetness.
Pro Tip
Add the crème de cassis first, then pour the chilled wine gently over it to create a natural gradient of color; serve without stirring for the best visual effect.
