Calvados Domaine Dupont VSOP, fine, quality Calvados.
Domaine Dupont is situated in the heart of the Pays d’Auge Calvados; a region long considered to add a little extra to the finesse and delicacy of the calvados because it only permits the use of apples and insists on double pot distillation.
The poor clay and oxfordian marl soils produce very small apples, which increases the aromatic intensity and pulp-to-skin ratio.
The double distillation happens 6 months after the fermentation, and the resulting spirit is then aged for 5 years in oak barrels, 25% of which are new.
Delicious over ice, for flambéeing, or as a digestif.
An intense yet soft nose of oak, vanilla and apple, and a supple mouth which also offers subtle almond. Made from a combination of apples which give optimum acidity.
