Add to my wine listChâteau 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.
