NUSBAUMER Kirsch de Chatel Morel Conquête

This brandy is made from wild and sour cherries called Chatel Morel or Griottes du Nord. Coming from the Griottier (or Prunus cerasu), it is an appellation that means sour in reference to the acidic flavor of its fruit. After a natural fermentation of 5 weeks, the stones are removed and the fruit is distilled in a traditional way in one of the four small copper stills of Nusbaumer. This brandy is then aged in a stainless steel barrel for many years to obtain this unique acidity and intensity. At the end of this very long ageing, a reduction at 45° with mountain spring water is carried out. This water, which runs through a subsoil of purple schist, is of great purity and gives it a singular strength.

For Joseph Nusbaumer, "Distilling is to extract the soul of the fruit". Located in Alsace in the heart of the Val de Villé, the Jos Nusbaumer distillery succeeds in the purest tradition of the country to express the richness of its soil and its fruits by this unique eau-de-vie.

This cuvée is presented in a "Renaissance" bottle with an antique-red color that protects it perfectly from the light. Produced in very small batches, the wax of a beautiful intense color is made by hand in the Nusbaumer workshop.

This exceptional aged and elaborated brandy has a finesse and a persistence in the mouth which deserve all the superlatives.
