Pierre Huet Calvados Prestige 38 years+ 40% 700ml

Calvados Pays dAuge (Protected Designation of Origin)

AGEING :
Blend of our oldest calvados.

TASTING :
Enormous Calvados with a lot of complexity. A multitude of aromas in which peach compote, prune, crème brûlée, saffron and leather tone meddle in. Then, Port, Madeira wine and old Banyuls scents appear. Moreover, very light hints of white flower, sandalwood and eucalyptus.

The palate is round, long, smooth and full-bodied with tarte tatin and crystallised apple tastes. A surprising intensity with an important contrast combining white pepper, crystallised orange and vanilla cream. An exceptional, rich, generous and complex Calvados. The aromatic densities, olfactory and gustative contrasts (freshness and density) are the essential featuresof this very rare product.

Our Calvados AOC is obtained by a simple distillation of cider in an alambic a colonne (simple distillation still).

First, the juice obtained by pressing the apples is completely fermented (12 months) in one hundred year old oak barrels.

Our still is heated by an innovative and unique process in Normandy: woodchips. Woodchips produced on the Estate serves as ecological combustible.
