Michel Huard-Guillouet Hors d'Age Calvados 750ml

Nearly 1,800 trees on standard rootstock grace the 15-hectare (37 acre) property. The soil is loamy, composed of an ideal combination of silt and clay. About thirty varieties of apples are grown on the property, predominantly from the sweet and bittersweet categories. The cider is fermented and aged in foudre for about eight months, then distilled in a traveling column still. The spirits go into large, well seasoned 400-liter barrels where their complex apple flavors develop.
