Dominique Roussele was born and raised in La Cluse et Mijoux, the same village where the distillery is located.
Les fils d'Emile Pernot distillery was founded in 1890 in Pontarlier, France, by Emile Pernot. In 1910, the distillery produced approximately 450 hectolitres, which is not surprising: around the time, consumption of absinthe was reaching levels never heard of before.
In 1915, when La Fée Verte (The Green Fairy) was banned, the distillery turned its hand to other spirits: aniseed aperitifs, fruit brandies and gentian liqueurs.
In 2001, the small distillery started to reproduce absinthe again, with Un Emile, from an old family recipe.
In 2005, the distillery was sold to François Thevenin, who has since developed the firm with a touch of modernity alongside traditional methods.
A year later, at the end of 2006, François Thevenin bought the Klainguer distillery, also situated in Pontarlier, and formed the Pernot – Klainguer distillery.
- At first, enjoy a glass of Absinthe Authentique with half a piece of sugar. For the next, add more or less according to taste.
- For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 5 measures of fresh water.

Satisfactory but not exceptional.

According to many reports, previous batches of this absinthe appeared to be fantastic prior to new management taking over for EP. Now, sad to say a bottle I had ordered from the much awaited Authentique was barely drinkable without the use of sugar. It is unknown if this absinthe distillery will get their act together again into making fine products, but as of this point they have a long journey before that happens. Don't waste your money.

Quite nice indeed. Think of Un Emile but with much better body (wormwood and anise equally present, without being aggressive), improved louche and lasting numb finish.
As a personal curious note, I've experienced a stronger "drunk" feeling with this than with 68° absinthes; don't know what causes it, but it settles down soon enough and then the drink goes down smoothly with a relaxing effect.

A surprisingly mild, refined style of Pontarlier absinthe, but it's still fragrant and interesting, and also retains some sharp hyssopy flavour to stir up the mildness. I never really supposed mildening Pontarlier style could end up this well.

Not much to say ...not a great emile pernot product...kind of ordinary....vieux pontarlier much better.

Note from Absinthes.com: Hello Steve, this is the first feedback we've had about Authentique that's less than glowing praise! Just wanted to say we were surprised, it's a very popular absinthe with pronounced wormwood aromas, and a favourite of the team. Hope it grows on you!

My mouth enjoyed a great surprise after trying this French treat. I liked the balance and the bite was something tempered by a pat of sugar.

A good one, but not exceptional. Bitterness is not too strong (I like bitterness, strong wormwood taste), but still full of flavours, a bit sweet aftertaste.

So this is the first absinthe i am enjoying & might I say it is exquisite. the nose is well balanced with anise & has a strong but not overpowering wormwood taste. very refreshing finish that lingers a flavor of unsweetened liquorish on the tongue. I start to feel the effect very quickly with the first glass so do be aware. I give this Absinthe a thumbs up.
