Calvados 8 ans d'age futs...
TYPOLOGY: Calvados Pays d'Auge A.O.C. - ' Reserve du Château 8 Ans futs Sauternes '.<br /><br />PRODUCTION AREA: Pont- l'Évêque - Normandy<br /><br />RAW MATERIAL: Apples (from mainly small trees).<br /><br />DISTILLATION: Before obtaining the cider, the apples undergo blending and pressing, they are carefully washed and treated to extract the pulp of the fruit on the one hand,<br />and the must on the other, which must macerate for at least 6 weeks before reaching the alcohol content required for distillation, i.e. 4.5% vol. minimum.Double distillation,<br />carried out strictly with discontinuous copper stills.<br /><br />SOIL TYPE: Clayey soil, rich in nitrogen and potassium.<br /><br />COLOUR: Brilliant and luminous<br /><br />BOUQUET: Soft and fruity, with wonderful aromas of walnut, unripe hazelnut, fresh almond and vanilla<br /><br />FLAVOUR: In tasting, the apple remains very present, and the aftertaste is long and exceptional<br /><br />AGEING: It is aged in French oak barrels for at least 8 years and then carefully blended before bottling. As far as ageing is concerned, Calvados is very similar to the<br />classification of Cognac and Armagnac and just as with these spirits, only the age of the youngest distillate counts. If one mixes a 2-year-old calvados with a 30-year-old,<br />the final product has two years of ageing. This detail is important, because like brandies, Calvados is a blend of different vintages and distillates in terms of type and age.<br />What matters to the master distiller is the final product, so he tries to blend to find balance and finesse.<br />

Drouin Pays d'ague Reserve...
Drouin Pays D'Auge Reserve<br />Drouin France<br /><br />70 cl / 40 °<br />Typology: Calvados<br />Raw material: Apples<br />Fermentation: Indigenous yeasts<br />Method of production: Charentais Alembic<br />Box: Yes<br /><br />Why it is different:<br />We could call Drouin Pays D'auge the grand cru of the Calvados appellation, with very strict rules. The Réserve is made like all Drouin calvados: harvesting of the 30 apple<br />varieties and reaching maturity, champagne-style soft pressing with yields reduced to 65% to preserve the fragrance and freshness of the juice, spontaneous fermentation<br />with indigenous yeasts. The ciders for distillation are the youngest ones, which remain in stainless steel vats for several months, at least 5. They are fresh and fruity<br />fermented, not overly complex, and ideal for the production of distillates for short ageing. Distillation takes place in the traditional copper Charentais still, ageing in French<br />oak barrels for 4 years.<br /><br />How to drink it:<br />To be enjoyed neat in a tulip glass. Excellent when paired with chocolate desserts or a classic apple and pear cake.<br /><br />Focus:<br />Fermentation is a key process in the production of all Christian Drouin spirits: it all happens naturally with the distillery's indigenous yeasts. The freshly pressed juice<br />reaches the stainless steel vats, where it ferments and rests for at least 5 months, but in some cases up to 1 year. Based on the fermentation time, it is already clear what<br />type of calvados can be obtained. Those obtained from young ciders will be ideal for the distillation of younger, fresh and fruity calvados. The more mature and evolved ciders<br />are distilled from June onwards, but in some cases also in the autumn following the harvest, resulting in very complex and rich distillates, ideal for long ageing, particularly<br />for vintage wines.<br />
