CALVADOS
Appellation of Origin Contrôlée
TASTING NOTES
The Calvados of Domfrontais has an aromatic universe dominated by hints of fruit, because of this peculiarity it is possible to taste it young. For this reason, the Marquises of Saint Loup prefer to propose as "entrée de gamme" a Calvados elaborated in Domfront. Calvados produced in the geographical area of Domfront take their originality from the high percentage of pear cider used in conjunction with apple cider (30%); soil (shale and granite) and distillation process (only one distillation) contribute greatly to its typicality. Particularly suitable for those who love to take Calvados as an aperitif, such as long drinks (Calvados & Tonic), with ice (3cl. accompanied by 2 ice cubes) or with coffee (a little Calvados inside the cup of coffee). It is also perfect for making cocktails that require alcohol based on fruit, culinary recipes or apple slushes.
