CALVADOS - Julien Frémont - Hors d’âge - 41.5% - Clos des Spiritueux
Julien Frémont is a recognized artisan producer of cider and calvados, whose family farm is ideally located in Saint-Georges-en-Auge, in the heart of the Pays d’Auge in Normandy. His estate, which covers about 20 hectares, benefits from rich and fertile soils where magnificent apple trees thrive alongside Norman cows. For several generations, the property has been cultivated according to the principles of certified organic farming and enriched by rigorous biodynamic practices, ensuring the purity and authenticity of each bottle.
For the production of his exceptional Calvados, all varieties of cider apples from the estate are carefully selected. After a long natural fermentation, lasting 1 to 3 years, the juices are distilled in a traditional still. The resulting eau-de-vie is then precisely aged in 400-liter oak barrels for 6 to 8 months, then refined for an additional 4 to 5 years in old casks that previously held cider and pommeau, thus bringing complexity, roundness, and aromatic intensity.
This Hors d’Âge Calvados offered by Clos des Spiritueux appeals to both enthusiasts and connoisseurs with the richness of its aromas and the finesse of its structure. It perfectly embodies traditional Norman artisanal know-how and respect for the terroir.
