This Calvados from Marquis de Saint-Loup puts fruit at the centre. Its base is cider made from 70% apples and 30% pears. It matures for two to three years in very old oak casks, with oak casks previously seasoned with sherry or port also used. In the glass it shows pale gold. Apple and pear meet spice and a fine pastry note. It is bottled at 40% ABV in 70cl bottles and also suits use as a digestif.
Tasting Notes
Fresh and dried apples, followed by nashi pear, quince, vanilla and cardamom.
Soft on entry, quickly developing warmth with medium body. Cardamom, nutmeg and herbs accompany dried apple, nashi pear and quince confiture, with fine brioche notes adding an almost creamy texture.
Rather long and clearly warming, with pear carrying through.
