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.
This cider is fermented in wood for 10–11 months, twice distilled on copper pot stills fueled by wood, nad aged 35–40 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: Browned butter and walnut rancio on the nose. A mineralic palate speaks of candied apple, black tea, and dehydrated lemon. Cigar spice and a touch of orange come through on a sprightly finish.
41% ABV
