FAQs For Christian Drouin Selection Calvados

How is it made?

Crafted from a blend of carefully chosen apples grown in Normandy’s traditional orchards. The fruit is pressed and fermented before undergoing distillation in classic copper stills, a method that preserves purity, freshness and the natural aromatic lift of the apples.

After distillation, the spirit rests in oak barrels, where it develops gentle spice, soft vanilla and a rounded texture.

How should it be served?

Serve neat at room temperature in a tulip glass or small brandy glass

How is it different from Cognac?
  • Calvados: made from apples (or pears), fruit-driven and rustic
  • Cognac: made from grapes, more floral, structured, and grape-based
How should it be stored?

Store upright, away from heat and sunlight. In a cool, stable environment.
