Lelouvier Calvados Vieux 42% 75 cl.
About the product
Lelouvier Calvados Vieux is produced according to traditional Norman methods, where carefully selected cider apples are fermented and distilled into a characterful eau-de-vie. After distillation, the Calvados is aged in oak barrels, where it develops its depth, smoothness, and complex aromas.
The designation "Vieux" indicates that the Calvados has undergone a longer aging period, which provides a more rounded and elegant style. The result is a well-balanced Calvados with both fresh fruit character and mature oak notes.
With its 42% alcohol content, it remains full-bodied and aromatic without losing its finesse and elegance.
About the region
Calvados is produced in Normandy in northwestern France, an area famous for its apple orchards and long tradition of cider and spirits production.
The cool maritime climate provides optimal conditions for growing apples with high aromatic complexity. The combination of terroir, local apple varieties, and traditional distillation creates the unique character that has made Calvados one of France's most recognized types of spirits.
