Product Description

Product Description

Christian Drouin XO Pays d'Auge Calvados is an elegant French apple brandy produced exclusively within the prestigious Pays d'Auge appellation. Crafted using traditional double distillation in copper pot stills, it is matured for more than six years in a selection of small oak casks, including former wine, Cognac and Sherry barrels, creating exceptional depth and complexity.

Rich aromas of baked apples, tarte Tatin and warm spice develop into delicate rancio, while the palate delivers layers of stewed orchard fruit, vanilla, toasted oak and gentle caramel. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, making this an outstanding Calvados to enjoy after dinner or on special occasions.
