Description
NORMANDY: Family-owned estate Cidery and Calvados distillery with over 75 acres of orchards. The poor soils of the Pays D’Auge result in lower yields and smaller apples, which are highly intense and capable of great sugar, acid and tannin extraction – ideal for distilling eventually!
Made from 80% bittersweet and 20% acid apples, a cider is made that is fermented right out. This dry cider is then double-distilled before aging for two years in 400L oak barrels, 50% of which are new. Intense and complex, the Calvados shows flavours of apples, pears, citrus and vanilla.
The bottle suggests it is ‘classic as a digestif, on its own or with a cigar.’ Hard to argue with that!
