Production of the 200th Anniversary Cuvée AOC from Calvados Boulard

The production of this exclusive Calvados begins with the selection of traditional orchard fruits from the region. Warm days and cooler nights ensure the optimal ripening of the apples and pears, shaping the unmistakable flavor profile. The fruits are handpicked and gently pressed to extract the pure juice, which forms the basis for distillation.

The fermentation occurs naturally, allowing the must to develop its characteristic acidity and fruitiness. Subsequently, the Calvados undergoes double distillation in a copper still, the heart of artisanal craft. The first distillation produces the so-called “Brouillis,” which is refined into a clear and concentrated distillate in a second run.

Finally, the 200 Anniversary Cuvée AOC matures in carefully selected oak barrels, giving the Calvados its deep color and complex aromas. This long aging in wood imparts the spirit with its typical harmonious structure as well as delicate smoky notes and hints of vanilla and caramel, making the tasting experience incomparable.
