The Calvados Pays d’Auge VSOP by Drouin is a refined distillate from the famous Norman region of Pays d’Auge, the historic heart of Calvados production. Made exclusively with apples grown in this dedicated area, the distillate reflects the balance between fruity sweetness and the typical elegance of this controlled designation. The VSOP indicates a minimum aging of four years in oak barrels, which imparts complexity and a smooth character without sacrificing freshness and liveliness.
On the nose, it opens with delicate notes of ripe apple, enriched by floral scents and slight hints of sweet spices and vanilla from the aging process. On the palate, softness blends with a pleasant structure, revealing hints of cooked fruit, almond, and light toasting, typical of the oak wood used. This Calvados is perfect to be enjoyed neat, at room temperature, to appreciate its finesse and balance, but it also suits refined cocktails or as an ideal complement to apple-based desserts or aged cheeses.
A true expression of the Norman territory and Drouin’s distilling tradition, offering a rich and harmonious sensory experience.
