Description
Our Calvados is considered one of the best on the market. The production of this quality spirit is carried out using traditional methods of pressing and fermentation.
The apples are harvested from October to November, then washed and sorted by hand before being pressed. After pressing and alcoholic fermentation, the ciders are distilled in February and March.
Calvados Fine
This Calvados with a controlled designation of origin has aged for at least two years in oak barrels to give it structure, complexity and a sophisticated finish. On the palate, you will find a light woody structure in order to preserve the fresh apple as much as possible, the finish is characterised by a beautiful roundness. A fresh, young Calvados with aromas of green apple, to serve in cocktails or on ice.
Calvados XO
This Calvados XO has aged for at least 6 years in oak barrels, giving it a mahogany colour. On the palate, the woodiness is more present, blending perfectly with the smoky and baked apple aromas. A beautiful tannic structure gives it great finesse on the palate.
This Calvados is best served as a digestif, or enjoyed with a piece of dark chocolate or a cigar. Our Calvados XO can also be enjoyed in a cocktail.
