Superb, creamy textured and vibrantly fruity this has something of a curd or yoghurty nature and the youth comes through as banana milkshake (estery and creamy). A great insight into Drouin’s base spirit nature. 84/100

Pere Magloire VSOP Pays d’Auge Calvados
Pere Magloire VSOP Pays d’Auge Calvados Calvados Review: Enjoyable, packed full of fruit and oak as you would expect, a touch of leathery tannins add spice and dryness. 83/100
Adrien Camut 6 Ans d’Age Calvados Pays d’Auge
Adrien Camut 6 Ans d’Age Calvados Pays d’Auge Calvados Review: Another deep and rich expression, plenty of oak wood but with an effervescent/mentholic nature, probably tannic/cask derived? balanced by plenty of rich fruits. 86/100
Christian Drouin VSOP Calvados Pays d’Auge

Roger Groult Reserve Calvados Review: A lovely base expression from Calvados Groult an unusual dried feeling to the fruit/apple in flavour and also texture too. 83/100
