Château du Breuil Calvados XO - 6 ans

Château du Breuil

Normandy

This Calvados XO has aged for a minimum of 6 years in oak barrels, developing an elegant mahogany hue. The nose reveals aromas of baked apples, Tarte Tatin, vanilla and caramel. On the palate, the woody character becomes more pronounced, blending seamlessly with smoky undertones and baked apple notes. It's well balanced tannic structure imparts great finesse. This Calvados is best enjoyed as a digestif, paired with a piece of dark chocolate or a cigar!


Viticulture

What makes this Calvados XO truly unique is its production process, which is carried out entirely on the Château du Breuil estate. From the orchards containing more than 22,000 apple trees , we control every step, from apple harvesting to bottling .


Vinification

Double distillation in a 25hl Charentais stills gives this eau-de-vie a pure quality, while its minimum aging of 6 years in French oak barrels in our aging cellars enriches its character and complexity.


Recommendation

Fabulous as a digestif with coffee, or paired with very dark chocolate.
