This complex AOC Calvados is drawn from one, unique distillation batch from 2001 that was aged in oak casks formerly used for aging sherry. 750 ML bottles. In individual gift boxes. 40% alc/vol.

Admire the deep amber robe. Lift this calvados to your nose and savor the slight butterscotch aromas. Buttery and sweet on the palate with the flavors of stewed apples.  A deeply complex and structured finish.

The oldest Calvados deserve the greatest respect: Choose a liqueur glass such as a tulip glass or small brandy snifter and pour your Marquis de Saint-Loup Calvados with care.  Warm it tenderly in the hollow of your hand.  Run the amber liquid slowly round the glass (held by the base) and admire its color and the patterns it traces on the sides of the glass. Calvados needs to breathe to develop its full qualities.  Wait for at least two minutes before bringing the glass up to your nose, finding the distance at which you can distinguish and absorb the subtle aromas. Then, take a few drops in your mouth before swallowing.  Now you are ready to truly savor your Calvados, sip by sip.  Take your time, and you will note a surprising development in flavor and taste. If you do not indulge too freely, your Calvados will leave a delicate fragrance on your palate.
