The Calvados Millesime 1988 Pays d'Auge Lecompte offers a mature, measured profile: on the nose you perceive baked apple and white-fleshed fruit, notes of candied apple and citrus peel, with hints of dried fruit and a subtle vanilla that speak to the maturity of the vintage.

On the palate the sip is warm and rounded, well balanced by residual freshness; the texture is smooth without feeling heavy, and the finish remains elegant with fruity echoes and a touch of spice. Clean and deep in character, it lends itself both to contemplative tasting and to a decisive after-dinner role. The presentation box makes it an ideal gift for enthusiasts of spirits with history; it pairs respectfully with aged cheeses or apple-based desserts, and should be served at room temperature or just slightly chilled in a glass that showcases the aromas. The 70 cl bottle, housed in the box, has a collector’s charm: with a few minutes of aeration the bouquet opens up showing greater breadth. Ideal for those seeking a mature calvados to cellar or offer on important occasions.
