Calvados Réserve des Seigneurs XO 20 Ans d’Age Château du Breuil 70 cl

Description

History

In the cool plain of Pays d’Auge, in Normandy, stands the Château du Breuil, which was purchased in 1954 by Philippe Bizouard, an expert in the production of Calvados who came from a family with a long tradition. The castle is classified as a historical monument and, after being completely restored by its new owner, the outbuildings were transformed into cellars, called “orangeries”, which today house the Calvados for the aging phase. The choice of raw material is fundamental for the production of Calvados, since the quality of the distillate depends on the apples used. At Château du Breuil, the “quintessence” of the fruit is extracted, following procedures and production steps that are highly confidential. The result is an almost magical Calvados, which, after a long period of expert aging, guarantees unattainable quality.

Production method

Calvados is produced through the fermentation of apple cider, followed by distillation and aging in oak barrels for at least 2 years. The aging process gives Calvados its characteristic flavor and aroma of apple and vanilla.
