In stock
This Calvados ages for more than 30 years in oak barrels.
Good tension on the nose, with the apples not being dominant. Aromas of cinnamon and candied fruit. The finish is immediately long and deep, almost endless.
The finish develops notes of prune (Pruneau d'Agen) and quince. Be sure to let it stand in the glass for at least 15 minutes to experience the full range of aromas.
Best enjoyed after a meal.
- Base wine: Cidre de Normandie
- Alcohol content: 40% ABV
- Contains sulfites
The protected Calvados varieties from the House of Pierre Huet are produced by double distilling different ciders, which are in turn the result of fermenting apples in oak barrels for 12 months.
The first distillation is used to distill the cider. The result is the so-called "petites eaux" at around 30–35% ABV. The second distillation produces the Calvados at 40% ABV.
Le Manoir "La Brière des Fontaines" is a magnificent estate with a long Calvados tradition and what is probably one of the finest cellars in Normandy. As early as 1941, Pierre Huet's cellar was selected as a showcase for a commission that was to establish the "Calvados" appellation. Perhaps it is not entirely innocent that only the "Pays d'Auge" was granted its own appellation.
