Production of Calvados X.O. by Père Magloire

The production of Calvados X.O. by Père Magloire is based on traditional methods that have been cherished for generations. The foundation consists of freshly harvested apples and pears from the best cultivation areas in Normandy. These fruits are carefully selected and pressed in controlled environments to ensure the highest quality. The resulting musts undergo a slow fermentation process, during which natural yeasts convert the volatile sugars into alcohol. The distillation is carried out in copper stills using a double distillation process that preserves both the fruity freshness and the complexity of the spirit. The distillate then ages in oak barrels, which impart its characteristic depth, smoothness, and layered aromas. During aging, spicy, woody, and fruity notes develop harmoniously. This slow, gentle treatment results in a balanced and lively spirit that reflects traditional craftsmanship.
