DISTILLATION
Our Calvados AOC is obtained by a simple distillation of cider in an “alambic à colonne” (simple distillation still).
First, the juice obtained by pressing the apples is completely fermented (12 months) in one hundred year old oak barrels. Calvados obtained is 70% proof.
Since 2010, our still is heated by an innovative and unique process in France:
woodchips, produced on the Estate.
Finally, our Calvados ages in separate oak barrels to the bottling.
