LEMORTON Calvados 6 YO 70 cl

Description

Lemorton 6 Year Old Calvados: a Normandy spirit shaped by pears

The Lemorton family estate is based in Mantilly, in the Domfrontais area of Normandy, where traditional orchards have long supplied fruit for cider and perry production. Alongside cider, perry and pommeau, the estate produces aged Calvados. Its approach is distinctive for the proportion of pears used in the fruit destined for distillation: around 70% pears and 30% apples. This emphasis on pears gives Lemorton spirits a recognisable connection to the local orchard tradition.

Lemorton 6 Year Old Calvados is matured in oak casks for six years. During ageing, the spirit evolves through contact with the wood while retaining the fruit character that defines the producer’s style. Pear remains central to the identity of the house, complemented by apple and the additional nuances developed during maturation.

Bottled at 40% ABV in a 70 cl format, this Calvados can be enjoyed neat as an after-dinner digestif. Serve it at room temperature in a suitable glass and take time to explore its aromas. It also pairs naturally with apple tart, pear-based desserts and mature Normandy cheeses. For cocktail enthusiasts, it can provide a fruit-led aged spirit base for recipes that call for Calvados.

Lemorton 6 Year Old offers an introduction to the Domfrontais style and to a family producer whose use of pears is central to its identity. It is a traditional Normandy spirit for drinkers interested in the relationship between orchard fruit, distillation and oak maturation.
