What is ratafia?

Ratafia is a traditional fortified grape must liqueur, made by muting fresh grape juice with a neutral spirit—usually a regional eau-de-vie—without fermentation. This age-old method preserves the fruit's aromatic richness while keeping a moderate alcohol level (typically 16–18%). Found mainly in Burgundy and Champagne, ratafia is enjoying a renaissance, championed by artisanal producers who reveal its full gastronomic potential. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif, with dessert, in mixology, or paired with cheeses and savory-sweet dishes.

Maison Briottet – Tradition and balance from Burgundy

Established in Dijon since 1836, Maison Briottet is a historic liqueur producer known for its craftsmanship. Their Ratafia de Bourgogne is made from local grape must and fortified with fine de Bourgogne. It offers a perfect balance between fruity sweetness and structure, with elegant roundness and finesse. This expression showcases both the heritage and the modern appeal of Burgundy’s classic styles. A true ambassador of regional excellence.

Mouzon-Leroux – Biodynamic purity from Champagne

Located in Verzy, in the heart of Champagne's Montagne de Reims, Mouzon-Leroux is a forward-thinking grower-producer working entirely biodynamically. Their ratafia is made exclusively from Grand Cru Pinot Noir, unfermented and unfiltered, revealing vibrant freshness and aromatic depth. Expect notes of fresh grapes, honey, and subtle spice with a clean, energetic finish. This is a ratafia that reflects both its terroir and the spirit of living wine.

Sab’s – Burgundian creativity and distilling finesse

Sab’s is a boutique distillery based in Beaune, Burgundy, known for reinterpreting regional classics with precision and personality. Their ratafia is crafted from Aligoté must and fortified with a house-distilled fine from Pommard. The result is a bold yet elegant spirit with notes of white fruits, fresh herbs and toasted nuts. Sab’s delivers a ratafia that’s gastronomic, expressive, and unmistakably rooted in its local origin.
