Know-how made in Normandy

Distillation is done discontinuously, allowing for better consistency in the quality of Calvados. The column still used for this Calvados is located near the Château and dates back 4 generations (1923).

All our blends are made by systematically retaining a “lightning base” from the previous blends, thus improving the quality of the Calvados. This also provides better continuity and regularity in the blends.

The recipe for this Calvados Fine, carefully developed and jealously protected, is inspired by the Calvados served at the Château de Sassy for generations. It has been perfected with our cellar master to meet the demands of your delicate taste buds, while continuing our quest for excellence.
