The World of Calvados
From fruity, fresh and complex to more mature and spicy expressions – Calvados embodies the soul of Normandy, combining tradition, terroir, and authenticity.
Calvados is a French brandy obtained by distilling apple and pear cider from the orchards of Normandy. Its production follows strict rules: natural fermentation, distillation in copper stills (single or double cycle), and long maturation in oak barrels. This process gives Calvados its unique aromatic profile, ranging from fresh notes of green apple and pear to vanilla, caramel, spices, and dried fruits in older expressions. It is a spirit of great elegance and complexity, appreciated both neat and as a refined base for cocktails or paired with gourmet cuisine.
Among the most prestigious producers stands Château de Breuil, a symbol of Norman tradition, renowned for its well-balanced Calvados rich in character. Christian Drouin represents artisanal excellence, offering a range that highlights fruitiness and aromatic depth through long aging. Nord Sud, on the other hand, gives Calvados a modern twist with versatile and approachable spirits that combine freshness and authenticity. Together, these maisons embody the history and vitality of Calvados – a distillate that carries all the richness of Normandy.
