Between 1991 and 1992, Christian Drouin moved to a 17th-century farmhouse in Coudray-Rabut, near Pont l'Evêque, to meet growing demand. From the family orchards, some thirty varieties of apples (bitter, bittersweet, sweet and tart) are used in the composition of their ciders. To produce calvados for ageing, the cider is aged on its lees before being distilled between June and November of the year following the harvest. Aged in a calvados cask, this version remains very close to the fruit, inviting us to munch greedily on juicy apples. Young in spirit, yet at times very mature, its aromatic and taste palette proudly asserts the medicinal, spicy and heady accents of its strong personality.

Nose : rich, heady. Medicinal (balsam), spicy (Cayenne) and empyreumatic (incense, rosewood), the aromatic palette is constantly expanding. On aeration, orange zest, apple wedges and vanilla pods harmonize wonderfully, giving the olfactory space a noble quality.

Appearance : cuivre orangé.

Palate : both lively and soothing. Its racy palette reveals interwoven flavors of lemon and vanilla. With a pleasant root bitterness (ginger), it gradually becomes floral (lilac) and honeyed (lavender).

Overall : long, well-balanced. In the mouth, nutty fruits (chestnut, walnut) appear. This autumnal evolution is accentuated when dried fruits (fig, date) take center stage. On aeration, the empty glass becomes cocoa-like and balsamic (vinegar, cedar).
