THE QUINTESSENCE OF APPLE

CHÂTEAU DU BREUIL RÉSERVE CALVADOS PAYS D’AUGE CONTROLÉE LCBO 568790, 700 mL, $79.95

It’s great to welcome another Calvados to Ontario! This one is an 8-year-old from the Calvados heartland of the Pays d’Auge in Normandy. Look for hazelnuts and oaky spice amidst the pervasive aroma and taste of dried and fresh cider apple. And those apples are the last impression of a lingering finish.
