Product Description

Product Description

Christian Drouin 2004 Pays d'Auge Calvados is a vintage apple brandy that captures the character of a single harvest from one of Normandy's most respected Calvados producers. Distilled in 2004 using traditional double distillation in copper pot stills, it is produced exclusively in the Pays d'Auge appellation from carefully selected cider apples before maturing for many years in French oak casks. The result is a refined vintage Calvados that balances vibrant orchard fruit with the complexity that develops through extended ageing.

The nose opens with baked apple, pear, vanilla and delicate floral notes, followed by layers of cinnamon, toasted oak and gentle spice. The palate is rich and beautifully integrated, finishing with lingering apple, caramel and subtle nuttiness. This is an elegant sipping Calvados suited to collectors and lovers of mature French spirits.
