In the heart of Normandy, a region renowned for the production of Calvados, Drouin offers a rarity: the Calvados 1994 Millésime Pays d’Auge aged in Banyuls casks. This distillate is a mature and refined expression of the exclusively local apple variety, harvested in the DOC Pays d’Auge area, a zone that imposes strict quality and tradition criteria.

The aging process is a detail that enriches this reserve: after distillation, the Calvados rests in oak barrels, partly Banyuls, the famous French red fortified wine. This imparts an additional aromatic layer, blending the fruity and tangy notes of the apples with elegant sweet, spicy, and slightly toasted tones. On the nose, aromas of baked apple, nuts, vanilla, and a subtle hint of cocoa and red fruits emerge, deriving from the Banyuls aging.

The taste is enveloping, smooth, with a long and complex finish, where the liveliness of the acidity blends with a persistent balsamic sweetness. Perfect as a refined digestif, it pairs splendidly with apple-based desserts or aged cheeses, expressing the full character of a dedicated terroir and an excellent distillation craft.
