Description

Double distilled. Aged in traditional Calvados casks and former Port casks. Amber colour with red glints. Smooth nose expanding towards custard, clafoutis, prunes and cashew nuts notes. The mouth is rich and full-bodied with raisin aromas.

"Fruity and well-balanced, with vanilla coming through the toffee apple. Lively, with a floral note of apple blossom showing freshness as well as age. Lovely." Comments by IWSC 2015

Calvados, Ciders & Liqueurs

Christian Drouin

While the Pays d'Auge Calvados requires prolonged aging in oak barrels to flourish, a Calvados produced from apples and pears, and distilled in a column still, offers an aromatic universe dominated by fruit, palatable from an early age.

For this reason, CHRISTIAN DROUIN preferred to offer for "entry-level" a Calvados partly produced in the establishment he operates in Domfront. This calvados derives its originality from the high percentage of perry pears used in conjunction with cider apples. The soil (schist and granite) and the distillation process (a single distillation) also contribute to its typicality. It is ideal for the preparation of cooking recipes, apple granita and cocktails requiring a fruity base alcohol. La Sélection is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée calvados.
