Calvados Dupont - Original - 40%
Le Domaine Dupont is located in Victot-Pontfol, in the heart of the Pays d’Auge, a prestigious region of Calvados renowned for the quality of its spirits. Since 1887, the Dupont family has upheld traditional expertise over four generations, producing artisanal ciders, exceptional Pommeau de Normandie, and Calvados of great finesse. The estate, which spans 30 hectares of carefully maintained orchards, adopts an exemplary quality approach: manual sorting of apples, collaboration with a recognized oenologist, and rigorous selection of fruits, a crucial step to guarantee the excellence of the spirits offered by Clos des Spiritueux.
The cider intended for the distillation of Calvados Dupont is aged for 6 months on fine lees to maximize its aromatic potential. After distillation, this Calvados benefits from meticulous aging in barrels: first in new oak barrels with gentle heating for 3 months, bringing subtle vanilla notes to the spirit, then in old barrels for prolonged refinement, allowing the Calvados to acquire all its complexity and depth.
The Calvados Original comes from a precise blend: 80% bittersweet apples and 20% tart apples, all selected at optimal maturity. The apples are carefully mixed, crushed, and pressed, then the must ferments completely to produce a cider with character, intended for double distillation carried out one month after the end of fermentation. The aging of the Calvados takes place for a minimum of 2 years: first in large casks of 2,000 to 3,000 liters, then in toasted oak barrels of 400 liters, to express a beautiful harmony between freshness, roundness, and elegance.
