Calvados vintage 1972 was distilled in 1972 and aged in oak cask and in a toasted oak barrel. Unfiltered and without being cold stabilized, it was treated in such a way as to maximize its concentration and complexity. TECHNIQUES USED The apples are mixed, crushed and pressed. The apple juice is fermented right out to give cider to be distilled. Double distillation is carried out 6 months after the fermentation has taken place. The first distillation gives the ""petite eau"" at 30% by volume and it is the second distillation, that of the ""petite eau"" which gives the Calvados.
【Tasting Notes】
Eyes: Very deep mahogany color. Transparent and brilliant. Nose: Gentle and without aggressiveness. Aromas of wood and spices dominate. Finishes with fruity notes. The aromas of calvados left on the sides of the emptied glass reveal a great deal. Mouth: Very intense crystallized aromas, woody and spicy. Beautiful balance bitterness vs. freshness. The finale is supported by aromas of tobacco.
【Suggestion】
Storage: Very long, bottles upright without particular precaution. As a digestive: sipped on its own at room temperature. Its intensity makes it an ideal eau-de-vie for cigar lovers. Highly gastronomic.
