Production of the Calvados V. S. O. P. Pays d'Auge by Calvados Dauphin

The Calvados V. S. O. P. is aged for 5 years in wooden barrels and is also known as Vielle Réserve Calvados. 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 V. S. O. P. aged in oak and chestnut barrels for 5 years 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".
