Pierre Huet Calvados AOC Pays d’Auge Cordon Argent 20 years

This Calvados is an aged and finely blended Calvados where the youngest spirit used in the blend is 20 years old. 

Inviting aromas of apple tart, salted butter caramel, and sugared apples greet the nose with a touch of mint and rancio. The palate is nutty with a touch of caramel and vanilla, culminating in a luxuriously complex finish with dark chocolate and clove.

This 20-year-old (minimum) blend follows the strict Calvados AOC guidelines that require single-distillation in a traditional column still called an “alambic á colonne.” The fermented cidre that is used for making this Calvados (called calvados cidre) is fermented for 12 months in hundred-year-old oak barrels before being distilled. After continuous distillation, the resulting spirits are put in oak barrels once again and aged for a minimum of 20 years.  The cellar master blends this Cordon Argent 20 years by carefully selecting the brandies that display the most supple yet complex characteristics. Savor in a small brandy glass.

750ML bottles in individual gift boxes. 40% alc/vol.
