Calvados 8 ans d'age futs de Sauternes 700ml 43,4°

TYPOLOGY: Calvados Pays d'Auge A.O.C. - ' Reserve du Château 8 Ans futs Sauternes '.

PRODUCTION AREA: Pont- l'Évêque - Normandy

RAW MATERIAL: Apples (from mainly small trees).

DISTILLATION: Before obtaining the cider, the apples undergo blending and pressing, they are carefully washed and treated to extract the pulp of the fruit on the one hand,
and the must on the other, which must macerate for at least 6 weeks before reaching the alcohol content required for distillation, i.e. 4.5% vol. minimum.Double distillation,
carried out strictly with discontinuous copper stills.

SOIL TYPE: Clayey soil, rich in nitrogen and potassium.

COLOUR: Brilliant and luminous

BOUQUET: Soft and fruity, with wonderful aromas of walnut, unripe hazelnut, fresh almond and vanilla

FLAVOUR: In tasting, the apple remains very present, and the aftertaste is long and exceptional

AGEING: It is aged in French oak barrels for at least 8 years and then carefully blended before bottling. As far as ageing is concerned, Calvados is very similar to the
classification of Cognac and Armagnac and just as with these spirits, only the age of the youngest distillate counts. If one mixes a 2-year-old calvados with a 30-year-old,
the final product has two years of ageing. This detail is important, because like brandies, Calvados is a blend of different vintages and distillates in terms of type and age.
What matters to the master distiller is the final product, so he tries to blend to find balance and finesse.
