"Our Calvados "Doyen d'Âge" is the quintessential aroma of caramelised baked apple. Its superb notes of tarte tatin make it an exceptional digestive. "A vanilla and smoked, floral and candied cuvée, delicious drunk at room temperature, with serenity " according to Le Guide des Gourmands" - Roger Groult
