This Calvados is a popular classic of the house.
It has matured in oak barrels for 15 years and combines the power of an Hors d'Age and the harmony of an old Calvados (vieux calvados).
Flattering and at the same time powerful with clear notes of fresh apples and a long finish.
Enjoy it best after a meal to stimulate digestion.
- Base wine: Cidre de Normandie
- Alcohol content: 40% vol.
- Contains sulphites
Pierre Huet's origin-protected Calvados varieties are obtained through the double distillation of various ciders, which in turn are the result of 12 months of fermentation of apples in oak barrels.
The first distillation serves to distil the cider. The result is the so-called "petites eaux" with around 30 - 35% vol. The second distillation results in the Calvados with 40% vol.
Le Manoir "La Brière des Fontaines" is a magnificent property 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 object for a commission that was to define the "Calvados" appellation. Perhaps he is not entirely innocent in the fact that only the "Pays d'Auge" received its own appellation.
