This family owned firm has been producing calvados from the top cru, Pays d'Auge, for 5 generations. This Vieux calvados has been aged for at least 8 years, initially in 30 - 40 hl oak barrels but subsequently in smaller, 15 - 20 hl ones. It has a wonderful appley flavour and can be drunk as an aperitif (straight on ice or in a cocktail) or as a digestif served at room temperature to allow enough time to air.
