| Very light gold colour. Intense, spicy, ripe apple-puree with some caramel notes. Dry, medium bodied, harmonious, slightly spicy, harmonious, ripe, bruised apple puree flavours with a lingering, crisp finish. Not from the Pay's d'Auge, but the Domfront region. Tasty, fruity, and well priced. Last appeared in Vintages (***) on February 21, 2015 at $40.95 and was Recommended. |

| 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) |
