Christian Drouin
Calvados
Selection
For many years Christian Drouin wondered how to produce younger Calvados that would be well balanced on the palate while offering an intense fruity bouquet. Sélection achives this harmony by combined the sharp freshness of perry pears with the smoothness of cider apples. The ciders and perries are distilled in a column still and then aged in old, often-used casks that preserve the subtle balance of this calvados with its appentizing fragrance of fresh fruit.
The Calvados House Christian Drouin was founded immediately after World War II by Christian Drouin, who had a goal of producing the world's best calvados. In 1960, the house decided to produce its own calvados - and the first bottling in the house's name took place about 20 years later. Since then, the house has received several awards for their products.
