Château Du Breuil Calvados Pays D’Auge 15yr

Château du Breuil produces calvados from the highly regarded French ‘AOC Pays d’Auge’ appellation. 

Unlike Calvados “AOC”, Calvados with the AOC “Pays d’Auge” requires cider apples produced in the Pays d’Auge area and a double distillation. It makes a finer Calvados, due to the quality of apples produced by the local soil, and to the elimination of the roughest parts of the alcohol during the distillations.

Tasting Notes: Ageing for at least 15 years in oak casks creates a rich and voluptuous brandy of great depth in this fine blend of AOC Pays d’Auge Calvados. It carries a fragrant apple bouquet, which then gives way to the gentle tannin of old, mature Calvados. Best enjoyed as an after dinner digestif.
