CHRISTIAN DROUIN 1970 Pays d Auge

Calvados Pays d'Auge distilled in 1970 and aged to this day in oak barrels. Approximately two years in barrels containing port and one year in barrels containing sherry. Golden-brown in color, with pastry aromas on the nose and a smooth, supple, silky mouthfeel. Alain Segelle (C.I.D.D. Formation à l'Oenophilie) comments:
"A beautiful golden-bronze color with a fine amber tint. Warm, shimmering gold-green highlights. Very pleasant nose combining vigor and subtle aromas of both fruit and spices. Lovely pulpy fruity aromas on a background of cookies and dried almonds, followed by amber and leather in a sumptuous bouquet emerging after selective oxygenation in a beautiful straight glass, preferred to the more ethereal belly glass. Mouth with a semi-fine, semi-dry attack. Very fine flavors combining warmth and vivacity with a lovely mouthfeel, suavity and elegance, developing a delicious fragrance/reminiscence in retro-olfaction. A very fine CALVADOS of remarkable purity. Serve at 13-14° C."
