The wine region of Calvados
Historic Normandy AOC cider brandy with three appellations (Calvados, Pays d'Auge and Domfrontais). Distillation in column still or double distillation (Pays d'Auge), aged ≥2 years in oak. Amber to mahogany robe, full bouquet of ripe apple, cooked fruits, vanilla, honey, toasted dried fruits and woody-spice touch. Domfrontais (≥30% pears) more floral.
The word of the wine: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
