Picking and pressing of apples. Distillation
Presentation
There are 9 cider-apple varities in our orchard; most of the apple production is used by Calvados Père Magloire but we also produce a small quantity of high quality farm products: pure juice cider, Calvados AOC fermier du Pays de la Risle and Pommeau de Normandie AOC

Calvados Fermier du Pays de la Risle (Calvados AOC) Alc 41 % vol.
Our Calvados is Calvados AOC produit fermier du Pays de la Risle (= exclusively made with our apples, no water adding, less than 750 l/t, at least 4 months between pressing and distillation, aged and bottled at farm).
Our Calvados is aged in small oak casks (430 l maximum) in a traditional cellar without air conditioning (the aging is better but the losses are more important).
Our Calvados is naturally coloured by oak (not by caramel).

The apples for the most of our Pommeau de Normandie are picked by hand and matured sheltered in palloxes before pressing. The most is mixed with Calvados AOC and matured at least 14 months in small oak casks.
Pommeau de Normandie is an original aperitif drink and an excellent accompaniment for blue-cheeses or desserts.
