Product description
The Château du Breuil estate, founded in the 15th century, is located on the Pays d'Auge plain, famous for its cool climate.
The climate is conducive to the growth of apples with an exceptionally rich flavor. The first mentions of alcohol production on the estate date back to the 16th century. When Philippe Bizouard purchased the estate in 1954, he decided to modernize production. According to the producer, the time from the moment of obtaining the juice from the apples to the beginning of its fermentation is crucial to the production of Calvados of the highest quality. To obtain a liter of alcohol, the producer uses about 25 kilograms of apples. The production potential is estimated at 400 thousand liters per year. The distillate matured in French oak barrels for 8 years, then was poured into barrels of Scotch whisky from the Speyside region for a period of 6 years. The product combines the classic school of Calvados production, as well as the modern approach of alcohol producers enriching classic lines, versions that spend the last months of maturation in various types of barrels. Classic products gain a new dimension through this procedure.
