Discover the Calvados Dupont Hors d’Âge, a true reference for lovers of exceptional spirits, available at Clos des Spiritueux. The Domaine Dupont, located in Victot-Pontfol, in the heart of the prestigious Pays d’Auge in Normandy, has been perpetuating a family know-how since 1887. Today, the fourth generation passionately produces artisanal ciders, Pommeau de Normandie, and above all, Calvados of remarkable quality praised by connoisseurs worldwide.
The Domaine Dupont spans 30 hectares of orchards selected for the richness of their apple varieties. Thanks to a commitment to excellence, every production step is meticulously controlled, from the manual sorting of apples to collaboration with a renowned oenologist. This attention to detail, rare in the cider world, guarantees the authenticity and purity of the Calvados aromas. The precise selection of fruits is a key step in obtaining a high-end spirit.
The cider intended for distillation is aged 6 months on fine lees, which reveals its full aromatic complexity. After a traditional double distillation, the Calvados Dupont Hors d’Âge is aged in oak barrels: three months in new barrels with gentle heating to obtain delicate vanilla notes, then a long aging in old barrels, where it develops intensity and richness to delight the most demanding palates.
This Calvados Hors d’Âge is the result of an exceptional blend composed of 80% bittersweet apples and 20% tart apples. The harvested fruits are carefully crushed, pressed, then their juice ferments naturally to produce a high-quality distillation cider. After fermentation, the double distillation is carried out about a month later. The aging, of at least 6 years in 400-liter toasted oak barrels – 25% of which are new – gives this Calvados a remarkable structure, outstanding aromatic complexity, and rare elegance.
