The Pommeau de Normandie Drouin is an emblematic product of the Normandy tradition, rich in history and authentic flavor of this French region. Obtained from the union of fresh apple juice with young Calvados, it represents a perfect balance between fruity sweetness and the smoothness of alcohol, typical of apples grown in the fertile Norman valleys. The denomination Pommeau de Normandie guarantees attention to production techniques and the quality of raw materials, carefully selected by the Drouin distilleries, famous for their artisanal mastery.

In the glass, it presents a bright amber color, while the nose reveals delicate and intense aromas of ripe apple, flowers, and vanilla. The palate welcomes a velvety and rounded structure, with sweet notes of cooked apple, honey, and a slight hint of spices that accompany a persistent and harmonious finish. This Pommeau is ideal to accompany fruit-based desserts or aged cheeses, but it is also suited to moments of tasting alone, as a refined aperitif or digestif.

A liquid excellence that tells the essence of Normandy through an unmistakable gustatory balance.

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.

Raw materials

cider apples (various cider apple varieties)
