Calvados produced in the Pays d’Auge region of Normandy, France, at the Domaine de Semainville, by seventh-generation distillers Jean-Michel, Emmanuel, and Jean-Gabriel Camut. Distilled from 100% apples grown in orchards planted in the hautes-tiges style; many of the apples are heritage varieties. The cider is fermented in wood for 10–11 months, twice distilled on copper pot stills fueled by wood, adn aged a minimum of 18 years. Reduced with rainwater and aged in large vats and tonneaux made primarily of Limousin oak and filled no higher than 75% full to promote oxidation; no new wood is used.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of spiced apple bread, orange zest, and Earl Grey tea with milk lead to an initially creamy palate that sharply dives into lemon oil with a hint of sloe berry. A dry finish lingers with just a whisper of brioche French toast.
41% ABV
