Lemorton Calvados Selection (750ml)

Light pear aromas along with a touch of vanilla.  Deep gold straw.  Pear and floral notes on the nose and palate.

This Calvados from Lemorton is distilled from 70% pears and 30% apples in a wood-fired column still (the Domfrontais Appellation in southern Calvados has soil and climate more conducive to pear trees than apple trees, and Domfrontais Calvados must be at least 30% pear).  This results in a lighter, more elegant spirit than other types of Calvados.  The nose has scents of caramel apple, tart pear, and brown sugar / cinnamon.  Sipping brings flavors of sweet apple, tart pear, light citrus, and a bit of toffee.  A unique, delicious take on Calvados.
