Maison Lejay makes one of the most widely available blackcurrent liqueurs. From their website:
It all started in 1841 with Auguste-Denis Lagoute. The first
liqueur-maker of Dijon, in the heart of Burgundy, was keen to invent an
innovative recipe. This led him to develop the first ever Crème de
Cassis, with a smooth texture and powerful aromas.
And if you ever wondered were the very popular cocktail "Kir Royale" got its name, it is named for a former mayor of Lyon, Canon Felix Kir, who liked to mix a little cassis with his white wine.
