The apples are mixed, crushed and pressed. The apple juice is directly fermented to give cider for distilling. The double distillation is carried out 6 months after the fermentation has taken place. The first distillation gives the "little water" at 30% by volume and it is the second distillation, that of the "little water" that gives Calvados.

Tasting notes: Amber colour, coppery, clear and bright reflections. Intense and complex. Aromas of caramelized apples and stone fruits, enhanced by notes of gingerbread and leather. Clean and powerful. Aromas of caramelized apples and spices supported by notes of bitter oranges.
