Marquis de Saint-Loup Calvados 1999
This heady AOC Calvados is drawn from one, unique distillation batch from 1999 that was aged in small, oak casks that previously held sherry and port. 750 ML bottles. In individual gift boxes. 40% alc/vol.
This superb Calvados greets you with the aromas of crème brulée and roasted sugar. Very buttery and round on the palate – somewhere between caramel and butterscotch. A slight hint of horehound on the finish (licorice and root beer!). The mouth is rich, well -structured and full-bodied.
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.
