Christian Drouin 1992 Coeur De Lion Pays d'Auge Calvados

“Brilliant orangy hue. Complex nose, bordering on exotic with accents of pecan nut and precious wood. Very clean, rigorous palate with very forward oakiness still and lovely fruit on the finish. A great classic.” - 90 PTS, GILBERT & GAILLARD (11/2022)

PRODUCER NOTES:

TASTING: “Amber robe with golden highlights. A well-balanced, whole-hearted nose with hints of chopped apple, linden, raisins, then spices. Smooth and full on the palate with a finish of typical old Calvados fragrances coupled with spices and nuts."

PRODUCTION: “Single distillation. Aging in old Calvados casks and old Brandy casks.”
