Château du Breuil - Calvados Pays d'Auge - 8 ans d'âge Réserve du Château

Key words: Fruity / Intense / Balanced

The spirit: Coming from a blend of several distillates having aged at least 8 years in barrels, this Reserve of Château is the perfect symbol of the balance between young and old Calvados. The ripe apple is indeed very present in tasting while notes of almonds, walnuts and vanilla accompany a supple woodiness in a beautiful length, creating a very silky and delicate ensemble. A benchmark Calvados with enchanting fruitiness!

The brand: Built at the beginning of the 16th century, the Château du Breuil is a place steeped in history. Indeed, since the French Revolution, several owners have succeeded one another and different economic activities have taken over the place: linen spinning, cheese factory, chocolate factory, cider factory, etc. However, it is indeed a Calvados distillery which has occupied the premises since 1954. The property today has 42 hectares on which more than 800 varieties of apples grow (sweet, bitter, bittersweet, sour). After belonging to the Swiss Diwisa group for around thirty years, the company returned to the French flag in April 2020 and extended its activity to other spirits: whiskeys (distilled on site) and rums (refined on site) make now part of the range and are of a superb standard. Today, the brand's influence is international and honors French know-how.
