About Joseph Cartron
Joseph Cartron founded the house that carries his name at Nuits-Saint-Georges in Burgundy in 1882, supplying local bars with lemonade and seltzer water while making fruit liqueurs, brandies and eaux-de-vie. It is the brand that took the spirits arm of Groupe Bernard Hayot beyond rum: Spiribam announced the acquisition in July 2021 and now lists Maison Cartron among the brands it owns.
