Description

Château du Breuil 30-year-old Calvados: thirty years of ageing in Normandy

Château du Breuil 30-year-old Calvados is a particularly fine expression of Normandy’s expertise. Produced in the heart of the Pays d’Auge, this cider brandy bears the Calvados Pays d’Auge AOC designation, renowned for its distinctive character and traditional production methods. Since 1954, Château du Breuil has upheld a tradition of calvados production, paying particular attention to distillation, blending and ageing.

This cuvée has matured for 30 years in oak casks. Over time, the spirit develops a deeper aromatic profile, where the original fruit blends with the notes imparted by the wood. The apple evolves into nuances of baked fruit and apple tarte Tatin, accompanied by caramel, almond and roasted notes. Woody and biscuit-like notes can also enrich the tasting experience, whilst the long maturation period fosters a full-bodied texture and a lovely finish.

On the palate, this aged Calvados is characterised by its richness and roundness. The fruity nuances blend with the aromas of oak and dried fruit to form a complex, generous and elegant whole. Its 41° alcohol content supports the aromatic structure without detracting from the finesse acquired over three decades of ageing.

To fully appreciate its character, it is best served at between 18 and 20 °C, in a glass suitable for spirits. It is best savoured slowly as a digestif, either on its own or accompanied by a square of dark chocolate, a few pieces of dried fruit or small pastries. It is also well-suited to a tasting dedicated to the great French eaux-de-vie.

Available in a 70 cl bottle, Château du Breuil 30-year-old Calvados is a prestigious choice for connoisseurs of aged spirits, collectors and those wishing to give an authentic speciality from Normandy as a gift.
