  • Ageing Over 25 years
  • Cask French oak casks
  • Grape varieties 100% cider apples from Pays d'Auge
  • Awards 95 points, 'Superb, highly recommended', Wine Enthusiast Magazine

L'Âge d'Or brings together more than twenty-five years of blending and patience in the family cellars. Its amber robe with grey highlights gives way to a woody nose of roasted coffee and vanilla pastry, over a backdrop of ripe apple. The palate opens smooth and indulgent, unfolding flavours of pastry and candied fruit before a long, enveloping finish. Awarded 95 points by Wine Enthusiast Magazine as 'superb and highly recommended', this exceptional Calvados is best enjoyed as a digestif, neat or alongside a chocolate dessert. An outstanding cuvée for lovers of fully matured Calvados.

How it is made

The Âge d'Or is the very expression of elegance. Subtle, complex and refined, this Calvados is the product of exceptional craftsmanship. The Âge d'Or is a blend of very old Calvados distilled by the Groult family throughout the twentieth century.

Traditions endure: today it is Jean-Roger, the fifth generation, who, having preserved double distillation over wood fire and other time-honoured methods, has the pleasure of presenting these great cuvées of Calvados Pays d'Auge.
