TASTING NOTES
With the utmost respect for tradition, only the best apples produced from high-stemmed orchards are used for the production of this particular elixir. Harvested between September and November, the apples are pressed in the characteristic and ancient vertical press. Only the pure juice, and only that extracted in the first pressing, is used to make the cider. The juice is then placed in oak barrels, where the natural fermentation will take place. Once fermentation is complete, the cider is distilled twice in the refresher alembic. The brandy is then placed in small oak barrels to refine. Over the years spent in wood, the aroma of calvados evolves from notes of fresh fruit towards a bouquet of more complex, slightly spicy aromas, with hints of dried fruit. Aging years refer to the aging years of the youngest calvados that make up the product, in this case the youngest calvados used to produce this bottle, has 15 years of aging. The nose is characterized by aromas of butter and cream. In the mouth it is opulent, balanced and of great persistence.
