The mild and damp weather and clayed soil of the Pays d’Auge give the ideal growing conditions for its 22,000 apple trees which surround the Chateau du Breuil. In the cellars, Calvados ages only in oak casks. This cognac gives priority to quality rather than quantity.

Testing Notes:
An intense aroma of bright, youthful apples with just a touch of cinnamon and dried chili peppers. It is moderately sweet on your palate and has a soft, gentle body. Lots of apple cider notes and hints of woody spices and a dollop of caramel. The Calvados has just the right amount of tang to balance the sweet fruit which gives it a liveliness.
