Famille Dupont Pays d’Auge Reserve Calvados

Description

Calvados Reserve has aged 3 years in oak barrels, with 25% new oak. Double distillation is carried out one month after the fermentation has taken place. The first distillation gives the “petite eau” at 30% by volume and it is the second distillation, that of the “petite eau” which gives the Calvados. Three years minimum. In toasted 400 l (88 imperial gallon) oak barrels, 25% of which are new. Bottled when ordered. Amber yellow. Clear and brilliant. Gentle attack, followed by great aromatic intensity with green apple, geranium and minty hints. The aromas of calvados left on the sides of the emptied glass reveal a great deal. Consistent, slightly bitter, at first marked by green apple. Finish is vegetal, very broad.
