Christian Drouin Gin 0,7l

Christian Drouin senior became the owner of the Fiefs SainteAnna on the Gonnevilla hills, near Honfleur. The farm was planted with cider-apple trees and Christian was soon seized by the desire to produce his own calvados. Christian was both rigorous and enterprising: with the help of Pierre Pivet, a lincensed distiller well known in the northern part of the Pays d'Auge, he spent his first twenty years distilling his cider production. The resulting calvados was set aside to age in former sherry, port or calvados casks stored in the old half-timbered outbuilding of the farm. He also acquired several batches of very old calvados when the estates of some reputed producers were sold. Christian Drouin senior won his first medals in regional competitions in Paris.
