About Drouin
Pays d'Auge and Domfrontaise calvados. A range of vintage and blended calvados from both the Pays d'Auge and Domfrontaise with some AOC thrown in for good measure. Many of their brandies have quite high apple content and lower pear usage
Details
The oldest calvados that we know of. It has a dried apple skin aroma and a slightly musty flavour consistent with these old calvas
Additional Information
| Aroma | Light apple aromas with a slightly musty and lingering finish indicating long ageing in oak |
|---|---|
| Distillation | We believe this to have been made on a mobile Normandy travelling still. It would have been distilled relatively slowly |
| Flavour | A faint musty hint of dried apple provides a delicar flavour for this AOC calvados. |
| Grape Variety | Not a Grape but cidre made from apples and perry pear. The bitter/sweet apples are mainly picked and crushed in a membrane press to get the flavour from the skins. There are several varieties including Saint Martin, Noel des Champs, Mettais and Doux Normandie. The apples are small with high aromatic intensity |
