Description

• Calvados distilled by Didier Lemorton at La Baillée Fétu in Mantilly, in the Domfrontais Region of Normandy
• Juice is naturally fermented on the lees in large wooden foudres or tonneaux for 9–10 months
• Distilled from pears (70–80%) and apples (the appellation requires a minimum of 30% pear)
• Single distillation occurs on a traveling, wood-fired copper column still co-owned by Lemorton and two other Calvados producers in the area
• Aged 4–6 years in used French oak
• Rich, oxidized aromas of pear permeate along with a touch of vanilla and mint. A slightly viscous palate exhibits gentian and cocoa with structured tannin and great length.
• 42.5% ABV
