The natural fermentation process and the subsequent distillation require artisanal skill to preserve the typical notes of the variety, in this case the pear varieties traditionally cultivated for the production of Poiré. The result is a clear liquid, with a delicate and harmonious aromatic profile, standing out for its fruity notes of ripe pear, slightly honeyed, and an elegant base of almond and sweet spices.
The Poiré of Drouin proves ideal as a refined aperitif or as an accompaniment to fruit-based desserts, enhancing the natural sweetness without weighing down the palate. It is an authentic product, an expression of a unique territorial heritage, capable of telling with every sip the history and passion of Normandy.

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.
