Tasting note

Les fils d'Emile Pernot is a traditional French distillery founded in 1889 by Emile-Ferdinand Pernot in Pontarlier, in the Haut Doubs. The green absinthe Berthe de Joux 56 ° Les fils d'Emile Pernot has been carefully distilled in century-old stills with a base of wine alcohol. The result is spicy, grassy, ​​fresh, peppery and terribly complex at the same time. Absinthe Berthe de Joux is the very first absinthe entirely created and produced by our master distiller Dominique Rousselet (to whom also the Authentic absinthe), an absinthe very rich in mountain perfumes combined with a refinement worthy of the greatest 19th century absinthes, a BIG surprise! Absinthe Berthe de Joux has been carefully distilled in our century-old stills with a wine alcohol base for its silky and fruity notes, green anise for its gourmet and spicy notes, fennel for its roundness in the mouth, the great absinthe of Pontarlier for its aromatic power and its herbaceous notes from our mountains, and many other natural plants kept secret.  Absinthe Berthe de Joux offers you a unique journey not only through time in order to rediscover the majestic flavors of the absinthes of yesteryear, but also a trip to our beautiful region with an aromatic bouquet rich in scents of the Jura mountains. As for the origin of the name Berthe de Joux, here is the explanation: Amauri III de Joux crossed paths around 1170.

As for the unfaithful wife, she was condemned to be locked up for her life in a tiny dungeon where she could only stand on her knees, facing a narrow slit offering for only show the naked body, dislocated and eaten by crows. of her beautiful lover. On the death of Amauri, his son, the young Henri de Joux, took pity on his mother whom he sent to end his days "amended" and repented at the abbey of Montbenoît. This late remorse near Amauri's tomb was perhaps not enough to appease the divine anger because, nearly eight centuries later, some practiced ears still hear, when the north wind blows at night near the entrenchment of Chauffaud, " Pray, vassals, pray on your knees, Pray to God for Berthe de Joux! »Fairy tale or true story? The Berthe's existence is attested in medieval charters. She still lived in Montbenoît in 1228. Amey de Montfaucon, or its namesake, Count de Montbéliard, lived in the 12th century. As for the place called "Fauconnière, it would take its name from Amey de Montfaucon ...
