Chateau du Breuil Fine Calvados is perhaps the freshest, fruitiest member of the series. Its exciting overall effect consists of a mixture of pears, apples, vanilla, dried fruits, caramel and apple compote. It is a great choice on its own, but also as an ingredient for premium quality cocktails.
From the 18th century and the French Revolution onwards, the estate hosted economic activities (and their owners) that developed over the centuries. Between the 18th and 19th centuries, a linen-spinning factory was located on the property. A cheese factory was established there at the beginning of the 19th century. Until 1946, the cheese factory was replaced by a chocolate factory3. Then the Saffrey company belonging to Count Tocqueville created a cider house, which operated until 1954. Finally, in 195414 Philippe Bizouart, the owner at the time, transformed the cider house into a distillery. This distillery initially produced brandies from the Calvados appellation and took the name of the castle as its brand.
Aged in oak barrels for two years, the fruity and youthful character of the drink acquired a wonderful color. This is the calvados in which all the aromas of Normandy come to life. When tasted, it offers a fresh and lively experience that faithfully reflects its PDO origin from the famous Pays d'Auge region.
