Lemorton Reserve Calvados

A Calvados from the Domfrontais, made as an apple and pear brandy. The Lemorton family property is planted with both apple and pear trees, with pear influence dominant at roughly seven pears to three apples. Appellation law requires at least 30% of the cider distilled in the Domfrontais to be made from pears. The cider is aged for eleven months in oak barrels before distillation in the family's own alambic, then the clear spirit goes into barrels with an average age of thirty years.
