Calvados Drouin Selection AOC 70cl 40°
Calvados Drouin Selection AOC is produced from apples and pears distilled in column stills.
It's an original Calvados, with a high percentage of perry pears used with cider apples. What's more, the soil (schist and granite) and the distillation process (a single distillation) give it an additional typicity that enhances the aromas of the raw apples.
It is also ideal for cooking and cocktail recipes requiring a fruit base.
The history of the Drouin house begins in 1960 near Honfleur in Normandy. The founder, Christian Drouin, distils the cider produced using the farm's apple trees to make old Calvados his specialty.
Aged in sherry, Port or Calvados barrels, the Christian Drouin cuvées have been growing in popularity since the 1970s and reach the greatest tables around the world.
For their production, around thirty varieties of cider apples are ripened in the estate's orchard.
The Drouin family, which has seen 3 generations succeed one another, has expanded its range to today offer pommels, gins and perries in addition to Calvados and ciders.
