Roger Groult 12-Year Calvados

Roger Groult produces Calvados in Pays d'Auge, France, using over 30 varieties of apple for a complex, intriguing flavor profile. In total they own 27 hectares of orchards planted in oils rich in silt, flint, and clay. Their ciders naturally ferment for several months on the fine lees until they reach between 5-7% alcohol. They are double distilled in three small, very old stills which use wood fire for their heat source. This is a true artisan, family run estate, one of the very best in the region.“Our 12-year-old Calvados reveals floral, white-fleshed fruit and sweet spice aromas. With its lightly candied final notes, it will be ideal as a digestif at room temperature, or a perfect accompaniment to chocolate desserts.”
