Manoir D'Apreval 1980 Calvados Pays D'Auge

Manoir D’Apreval 1980 Calvados Pays D’Auge was crafted in 1980 from a unique blend of organically grown apples. Lettelier chose a selection of bitter and bitter-sweet apple varieties, which were rich in tannins and acidity and ultimately provided the calvados with its smooth flavor and full body. Once the apples were harvested and pressed into a tart juice, the fresh cider was rested for ten months in a fermentation tank in order completely transform the sugars into alochol. Next, the cider was twice distilled through a pot still in the traditional Pays d’Auge method and then immediately transferred into oak barrels for maturation. Manoir D’Apreval 1980 Calvados Pays D’Auge was matured in 1,200 liter oak barrels for 25 years, before being transferred into 400 liter barrels in 2005. After maturing for over 33 years, the calvados was brought to proof and bottled. Manoir D’Apreval 1980 Calvados Pays D’Auge was named one of the top ten spirits of 2014 by F. Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal.
