This Calvados matures for 8 years in oak barrels.
The wine has a clear, elegant appearance, and overall this Calvados is delicate, floral, fresh, and light. The nose opens with notes reminiscent of burnt apple, which then give way to a fresher impression and hints of crisp, green apples.
On the palate, it is mineral, slightly peppery, and mentholated. The finish is reminiscent of caramel with salted butter.

It is best enjoyed after meals to stimulate digestion.

The protected designation of origin Calvados varieties from Pierre Huet are obtained through the double distillation of different ciders, which in turn are the result of the 12-month fermentation of apples in oak barrels.
The first distillation produces the cider. The result is the so-called "petites eaux" with an alcohol content of around 30-35% ABV. The second distillation yields the Calvados with 40% ABV.

Le Manoir "La Brière des Fontaines" is a magnificent estate with a long Calvados tradition and arguably one of the most beautiful cellars in Normandy. As early as 1941, Pierre Huet selected the cellar as a showcase property for a commission tasked with defining the "Calvados" appellation. He may well be partly responsible for the fact that only the Pays d'Auge region has its own appellation.
