The apples are mixed, crushed and pressed. The apple juice is fermented right out to give cider to be distilled. Double distillation is carried out 6 months after the fermentation has taken place. The first distillation gives the "petite eau" at 30% by volume and it is the second distillation, that of the "petite eau" which gives the Calvados.
Aging: Two years minimum. In toasted 400 l (88 imperial gallon) oak barrels, 50% of which are new.

In order to create this attractive presentation, the carafe is suspended in the spring from the branches of the apple tree as soon as the first little apples appear. The apple then grows inside the carafe. When the fruit becomes ripe, the carafe is removed from the tree with its apple held captive inside it.

Calvados : beautiful intensity on the constant alcohol.

Martine and Didier craft their vintage Calvados domfrontais. To understand the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, Calvados must contain at least 30% pears. In the family business, Calvados consists of about 70% pears and 30% apples. The characteristics of Calvados during tasting: A beautiful freshness with sparkling aromas highlighted. A lively and dry character on the retro-olfaction. It will be followed by notes of spices, caramelized vanillas, honey, and hazelnut. At the end of the mouth, we will notice a long finish with many caudalies. This local product is typical of the Orne bocage, where we are fortunate to use it to transform well-ripened fruits into wonderful eaux-de-vie.
