Cerise noire de Bâle
Enter the world of the best brandies in the world! A Basel black cherry with extremely intense aromatic flavours. This noble elixir, when ripe, overflows with intense, frank and slightly spicy aromas.
This highly prized cherry belongs to the category of sweet cherries originating from the shores of the Black Sea. First brought to Italy by the Romans, they were later introduced throughout Europe.
The cherry varieties selected by the Rochelt distillery are the "Basler Langstieler" and the "Dolleseppler" from the Basel region. They are heart-shaped and, when fully ripe, are dark reddish brown, juicy, sweet and very aromatic. This distillery adopts a specific method for this variety: in order to reveal all the delicate fruit flavours, they pit the cherries before the fermentation phase.
This avoids the rather frequent and undesirable phenomenon of taste competition between the pit and the fruit.
After a 100% natural fermentation without any additives, the cherry must is distilled twice very gently in a copper still. The resulting toast is then aged for ten years to reach maturity. As time goes by, the strength and power of the alcohol diminish and the eau-de-vie becomes softer and smoother.
