CALVADOS GROULT DOYEN D'AGE 70CL

  • Ageing Hors d'Âge, a blend of Calvados aged over 35 years from the cellars of Pierre Groult
  • Cask French oak casks
  • Grape varieties 100% cider apples from Pays d'Auge

The Doyen d'Âge is an exceptional Hors d'Âge, a blend of Calvados aged for more than thirty-five years, drawn from the historic cellars of Pierre Groult. Its deep tawny and mahogany colour opens on a smoky nose evoking cigar box and caramelised apple in the manner of a tarte tatin. The palate proves more delicate than expected, with floral notes of orange blossom and candied ginger that bring balance to the richness of the whole. A true collector's piece born of five generations of expertise, this Calvados embodies the memory and patience of the house. A great tasting experience, to be savoured on rare occasions.

How it is made

Doyen d'Âge is an exceptional blend drawn from the oldest cellars on the estate, crafted across several generations of Master Blenders. It is characterised by aromas of baked apple and vanilla, with a beautifully rounded palate. A Calvados to be savoured to the full...

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