This Calvados is aged in oak barrels for 8 years.
The color is clear, and overall this Calvados is fine and floral, fresh and light. The nose opens with notes reminiscent of burnt apple. These notes give way to a fresher impression and notes of crisp, green apples.
On the palate, it is mineral, slightly peppery and menthol. The finish is reminiscent of caramel with salted butter.
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 obtained by double distilling various ciders, which in turn are 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 probably one of the most beautiful 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" received its own appellation.
