Calvados Pays d'Auge "Pale & Dry" VSOP, Christian Drouin

93 boda – Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Proizveden u Pays d'Auge od gorkih, gorko-slatkih, slatkih i oštrih jabukovača dvostrukom destilacijom u bakrenim kazanima, ovaj VSOP odležava u malim vinskim bačvama od 225 litara. Mješavina takođe sadrži neka žestoka pića odležana u nekadašnjim ojačanim vinskim bačvama, dodajući dodatnu slatkoću i složenost.

Svijetlo jantarne boje. Nos nudi suptilnu mješavinu slatkih jabukovača, pečenih jabuka, medenjaka, vanile i nota cimeta koji se razvijaju prema mirisima badema i pčelinjeg voska. Na nepcu ovaj kalvados je podatan i izdašan sa ukusom tarta “Tarte Tatin”  i voćnim završetkom jabuke.

93 points – Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Produced in the Pays d'Auge from bitter, bitter-sweet, sweet and sharp cider apples by double distillation in copper stills, this VSOP is aged in small 225 litre former wine casks. The blend also contains some spirits aged in former fortified wine casks, adding further sweetness and complexity.

Light amber in colour. The nose offers a subtle blend of sweet cider, baked apples, gingerbread, vanilla and cinnamon hints evolving towards almond and bee wax fragrances.  On the palate this calvados is supple and generous with Tarte Tatin flavours and a fruity apple finish.
