Calvados Dauphin Hors d'Age Très Vieille Pays d'Auge AOC - Calvados Dauphin

The Calvados Dauphin Hors d' Age Très Vieille Pays d' Auge AOC by Calvados Dauphin shimmers in a beautiful amber to golden yellow colour in the glass. It impresses with its marvellously distinctive bouquet of ripe apples and sweetish-strong roasted and vanilla notes, which have been created by the long wood maturation. On the palate it is sweet and at the same time its aroma is hearty, soft, velvety and warm, but still fresh. The aromatic apple notes linger in a particularly long and persistent finish. A Calvados of the absolute top class, a great pleasure for connoisseurs and lovers!

Production of the Calvados Hors d' Age Très Vieille Pays d' Auge by Calvados Dauphin

The Calvados Hors d' Age matures in wooden barrels for more than 6 years and is also known as Très Vieille. Only very specific apple varieties are allowed for the Calvados. These are mixed in a ratio of approx. 40% sweet apples, 40% bitter apples and 20% sour apples and used to make an apple must. After the double distillation of the apple must in small copper distilling bubbles, the apple brandy is used for the Calvados Hors d'Age Trè Vieille aged in oak and chestnut barrels for 6 years or more at a constant cellar temperature.

The Calvados Dauphin originates from Normandy, the Pays d' Auge, which is considered to be the area of the finest Calvados. Only then may he bear the coveted designation "Calvados Pays d' Auge Controlée".
