| COEUR DE LION SÉLECTION CALVADOS AC, France |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CHRISTIAN DROUIN |
| Light gold colour. Intense, spicy, ripe, apple-puree with some caramel notes. Dry, slightly spicy, harmonious, medium bodied, ripe, bruised apple puree flavours with a lingering crisp finish. Not from the Pays d’Auge, but the Domfront region. A tasty, fruity, well priced example. Last appeared in Vintages (***) on November 10, 2012 at $37.95 and was Recommended. [90-points] |

| TASTING NOTE: Distilled from cider in northern France, Calvados brandy is an unusual treat. Popular as a flavouring in classical French cuisine, it can be sublime on its own, especially in winter. Dry and spicy, this one delivers warm apple pie on a silky texture. Perfect after dinner. Score - 92 (Beppi Crosariol, The Globe and Mail, Dec. 16, 2011) |
