Production of the Calvados 8 Ans from Chateau du Breuil

The production of the Calvados 8 Ans follows traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The first step is the selection of the best apples from the region, sourced from over 200 different varieties. These apples are carefully harvested and then pressed. The resulting apple juice is then filled into large tanks for fermentation, where it begins its alcoholic fermentation.

After this phase, the distillation takes place in a copper pot still, which highlights the unique character of the Calvados. The distillation is also performed in two stages, leading to a finer and more precise flavor development. After distillation, the Calvados 8 Ans matures for at least eight years in oak barrels. This maturation contributes to the development of the loving flavor nuances.
