This elegant Calvados by Pierre Huet bears the AOC Pays d'Auge designation of origin and was carefully aged in oak barrels for six years.
For the final six months of aging, it rested in former Monbazillac barrels – an exceptional white dessert wine with aromas of candied fruit, honey, and acacia blossoms.
This final refinement gives the Calvados a unique aromatic depth, in which the classic apple and pear notes blend harmoniously with nuances of exotic fruit, honey, and mild spices.
Traditional distillation creates a particularly smooth, full-bodied texture. Served over ice as an aperitif, it reveals its fresh fruitiness, while after dinner it impresses with its subtle aromatics and a pleasantly long, slightly sweet finish. Under optimal storage conditions – constant temperature and humidity – this Calvados can be stored upright for several decades.
40% ABV | 50 cl | Calvados Pierre Huet, Manoir La Brière des Fontaines, 14340 Cambremer, France
The protected Calvados varieties from the House of Pierre Huet are produced by double distilling different 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.
