Briottet Calvados VS – “Pays d’Auge” AOC
From the heart of Normandy, Briottet Calvados VS embodies the centuries-old tradition of apple brandy production in the prestigious “Pays d’Auge” AOC. This protected appellation is celebrated for its rich soils, ideal climate, and the unparalleled diversity of apple varieties—over 800 are grown in the region. For this Calvados, Briottet carefully blends bitter apples such as Frequin Rouge, sweet apples like Douce Coëtligné, tart selections including La Petite Jaune, sharp varieties such as La Pigeonnet, and bittersweet fruits like Kermerrien. The result is a cider of remarkable complexity before distillation even begins.
What distinguishes “Pays d’Auge” Calvados is the double distillation method in traditional à repasse copper stills, producing an eau-de-vie of heightened finesse and aromatic depth. Once distilled, the spirit is matured for two years in Limousin oak barrels, where it slowly develops structure, roundness, and subtle woody notes.
