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.

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.
