This Calvados is aged for 4 years in oak barrels and shows distinct aromas of wood and apple.

Enjoy it after dinner neat (the so-called “Trou Normand”) or in combination with an apple sorbet.

The protected Calvados varieties from the House of Pierre Huet are obtained by double distilling different ciders, which in turn are the result of the 12-month fermentation of apples in oak barrels.
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.
