On the nose, intense fruity notes are perceived, with hints of fresh apple and a touch of light spices, inviting one to discover the complexity contained in every sip. The palate, velvety and enveloping, reveals a distinct harmony between sweetness and acidity, supported by a delicate woody background imparted by aging. The final persistence is elegant and leaves a pleasant and sophisticated memory, ideal for those who love refined distillations.
Perfect as a digestif, this Calvados can accompany aged cheeses or apple-based desserts, ideal for moments of thoughtful tasting or to add a touch of class to innovative cocktails.

Distillation
Double distillation in a 2,500 L repasse pot still; first distillation to obtain the 'petites eaux' (~30°), second distillation to ~70°, with heads and tails cuts calibrated according to the quality of the cider.
Ageing
Aging primarily in small French oak barrels (many reused casks) that promote pronounced wood–air exchange; use of barrels previously used for Sherry, Port and Banyuls to add color and complexity; racking and blending carried out in larger casks when necessary.
