This is the kind of Calvados you reach for when the night calls for something truly special. Aged for over 38 years, Pierre Huet’s Calvados Prestige is like a treasure trove of flavors unfolding in your glass. Think luscious peach compote and prune dancing with the silky warmth of crème brûlée, while whispers of saffron and leather add a captivating edge. Just when you think you’ve caught it all, hints of port, Madeira, and old Banyuls sweep in, layered with subtle floral and eucalyptus notes.
On the palate, it’s an indulgent experience — rich and full-bodied, with the cozy sweetness of tarte tatin and crystallised apple balanced by a surprising kick of white pepper and bright crystallised orange. Vanilla cream rounds it all out, making every sip feel like a celebration of Normandy’s finest apple spirit craftsmanship.
Best savored slowly, poured into a tulipe glass at room temperature, allowing about 15 minutes to open up its complex character. Perfect for marking unforgettable moments or pairing with rich desserts and sharp cheeses, this Calvados invites you to slow down and truly enjoy the richness of the now.
From ancient family cellars, bottled in tiny quantities, it’s a collector’s dream and a rare tribute to Calvados Pays d’Auge’s storied tradition. Treat yourself to this exceptional spirit that’s as generous as it is refined.
