This finished in Cognac barrels. It offers a much drier expression focused on wood characteristics. Savory and firm this would be good with some pate or foie. — 2 years ago
Oak, Apple or more tropical like Mango and fruits. Aromatic. Apple brandy, Calvados Pays D’Auge Domaine de la Galotiere @1100/35ml, Eric, 240719 — 2 months ago
Just everything you want from a Calvados. It’s smooth and warming with a great blend of apple flavors and mellow wood. They leave just the right amount of sweetness in this one. A delight. — 2 years ago
Amazing, smooth and savory. Love it. — 3 years ago
Carmel, chewy chocolate goodness….Calvados is our Fall/Winter warm-up jam… and it’s all about the age. 18 years ushers in that silken smooth yet 80 proof weight…but in truth it’s the complexity of the apple aroma. I love using our antique German crystal glasses… swirl, deep sniff, repeat!

Aged for 10 years in barrel.
This has well integrated components of the wood and is showing the deep harmonious notes of autumn; decaying leaf mould, slightly browning apple skin/pulp, clean hummus. It is all tertiary sweetness. — 2 years ago
