Tasting

Notes

The flavours of fruit mingle with those of the spirit to produce the most fruity of all calvados.

C. Drouin has given a traditional favorite new life by substituting a boskoop apple instead of a pear inside the bottle with Pays d'Auge Calvados. Boskoops preserve better in calvados than any other type. It is harder to grow an apple in a bottle than it is a pear, because apple trees drop much of their crop as the fruit develops. Less than half of the bottles end up with an apple inside, thus making Pomme Prisonnière extremely limited. 40% ABV

C. Drouin Le Gin

C. Drouin Pommeau de Normandie

Pommeau de Normandie is the harmonious combination of apple juice and calvados, in which the apple juice is mixed before fermentation with calvados in the proportion of ¾ juice to ¼ calvados. C. Drouin uses primarily bitter apples to make Pommeau de Normandie. The mellowness of C. Drouin pommeau is the result of aging in oak casks for three to four years, with blends typically ranging from three to 10 years. 17% ABV
