Cuvée presentation

Offered by Calvados Christian Drouin
Distilled in copper column stills and aged for over 65 years in traditional red oak casks, this Calvados stands as a living testament to the great spirits of the Domfrontais region from the 1960s. Building on a legacy of time-honoured expertise, it expresses the style of the appellation’s oldest spirits with rare authenticity.
Its colour is a deep amber with hints of mahogany-brown.
The wonderfully intense nose reveals a rich aromatic palate blending nuts, precious woods, and dried fruit, enhanced by a subtle hint of ageing.
On the palate, the spirit is straightforward, vibrant, and highly elegant. True to the character of classic Domfrontais, it displays a lovely freshness underpinned by perfectly balanced acidity, while aromas of candied apple and pear intertwine with notes of sweet spices in a long, refined finish.

The distillery Drouin

The Christian Drouin estate was created by Christian Drouin Senior in 1960 on the hills of Gonneville. For the first 20 years, he was assisted by Pierre Pivet, a distiller who produced cider on the estate. Christian Drouin also bought old calvados casks from other producers in the region. The business became more powerful when Christian Drouin Junior took over in 1969, followed by his own son Guillaume in 2004. In 1991-1992, production was moved to a farm in Coudray-Rabut. The estate grows some 30 varieties of apple in its two orchards. One of the house's specialities is Calvados ageing in original casks, such as sherry, Rivesaltes, Banyuls, port and rum barrels. It also has a huge number of old vintage casks in its cellars.
