Marquis de Saint Loup 1997 Pays d'Auge Calvados

 The nose is rich and redolent with aromas of warm apples, baking spices, oak, and caramel. This is both bright yet has a lovely Pommeau like personality as well. The palate is very well balanced for a spirit just shy of twenty five years in barrel with the elements of the nose and distinct notes of caramel, spice and vanilla on the finish. D&M Tasting Notes The German press and retailers specifically called the Marquis bottling ‘by Christan Drouhin.’ Why this playing coy in the US we cannot say.
