The Toutain family has been producing Calvados in Normandy for 5 generations, The Domaine de la Couterie, where it has been based since 1971, is located at the gateway to the Pays d'Auge, in the small town of Beuzeville.
The 15 Year Old Calvados is aged for five years in oak barrels of 30 to 40 HL, then ten years in smaller barrels in order to obtain the right balance between the oak tannins and the fruity flavours of the product.
A complex yet smooth Calvados.
Nose: Fruity apple aromas with notes of vanilla and flowery citrus.
Palate: Very balanced palate with dried frui.
Finish: Vanilla and the woody taste of the oak.
