Appellation d'Origin Contrôlée
TASTING NOTES
This Calvados AOC Pays d'Auge Réserve from Marquis de Saint-Loup is produced in the heart of the Pays d'Auge appellation, on a 17th-century estate near the village of Saint Pierre, in a traditional Drouin family distillery. The apples are pressed only once and only this first juice is used, to obtain a cider of the best quality. Once the cider's fermentation process is complete, a maturation phase of several months in oak barrels follows. Only then is it distilled in two stages. Thereafter, the calvados matures for at least 4 more years in well-selected oak barrels. The contents of each barrel are checked annually for quality. Canary yellow to the eye, it has delicious aromas of fruit and flowers and a fine hint of oak. The body is more voluminous than Calvados Fine, with dominant apple flavors. Recommended as a digestive for those who prefer fruit aromas. More vigorous than Selection, it is suitable for the preparation of cocktails where the aromatic complexity of Calvados is required.
