Manoir de Montreuil Sélection Calvados is a Pays d’Auge Calvados from Domaine de Manoir de Montreuil in Montreuil-en-Auge. It is bottled at 44% ABV (88 proof) in a 750ml bottle, higher than most Calvados so it keeps its structure in cocktails.

The Story of Manoir de Montreuil Sélection

It is a blend of vintages made from 100% apples from orchards planted in the traditional hautes-tiges way, with free-standing trees on standard rootstock planted far apart. The cider ferments naturally sur lie in well-seasoned tonneaux for a year, then is double distilled in a gas-fired copper alembic pot still at the domaine. The Calvados ages at least 2 years in lightly used French oak casks and is gradually reduced with rainwater.
