Coquerel Fine Calvados: A Symphony of Freshness and Flavor Discover the essence of Normandy with Coquerel Fine Calvados. This distinguished apple brandy is crafted from a blend of Calvados aged for a minimum of two years in French oak barrels. The result is a fresh, fruity spirit with sweet notes of vanilla. Exceptional Craftsmanship At Domaine du Coquerel, the production of Coquerel Fine Calvados begins with the careful selection of the finest apple varieties. These apples are harvested, sorted, and washed before being pressed to extract the juice. The juice undergoes natural fermentation for at least 21 days, transforming into cider. This cider is then distilled in traditional copper columns, resulting in a transparent, fresh, and fruity eau-de-vie. The final step involves aging the spirit in French oak barrels, where it gains structure and complexity. The cellar master ensures that the wood enhances, rather than masks, the apple aromas.
