Description

Château du Breuil is a renowned producer of fine Calvados, a type of brandy made from apples and pears. The history of Château du Breuil dates back to the 16th century, when the estate was owned by the Breuil family. In the 19th century, the estate was purchased by the Count of Chabannes, who transformed it into a thriving apple orchard and distillery.

Today, Château du Breuil is known for its exceptional Calvados, which is made using traditional methods and aged in oak barrels for several years. The apples and pears used to make the Calvados are carefully selected from the estate's orchards, which are located in the heart of the Pays d'Auge region of Normandy.

Château du Breuil produces a range of Calvados, including VSOP, XO, and Hors d'Age. The VSOP is aged for a minimum of four years and has a smooth, fruity flavor with notes of vanilla and oak. The XO is aged for a minimum of six years and has a rich, complex flavor with hints of spice and dried fruit. The Hors d'Age is aged for a minimum of ten years and has a deep, intense flavor with notes of leather and tobacco.

In addition to its Calvados, Château du Breuil also produces a range of apple and pear liqueurs, which are made using the same high-quality fruit as its Calvados. The liqueurs are sweet and fruity, with a smooth, velvety texture.

Overall, Château du Breuil is a producer of exceptional Calvados and liqueurs, with a rich history and a commitment to traditional methods of production. Its products are highly sought after by connoisseurs of fine spirits, and are sure to impress even the most discerning palate.

Tasting notes

The nose is elegant, and aromatic and offers a fine freshness, a certain aromatic purity as well as a controlled power. It reveals notes of bright yellow apple, juicy pear and small notes of green apple associated with small touches of pear blossom and an imperceptible almost lemon hint. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers suavity, a small fat, a certain roundness, fleshiness, a good guideline, a good precision as well as a grain reminiscent of very ripe pear. On the palate, this Calvados expresses notes of fairly ripe/juicy William’s pear, yellow apple cooked in butter and small notes of pear blossoms associated with fine hints of almost pepper as well as an imperceptible hint of sweet spices. Good length.
