Picking and pressing of apples. Distillation
Presentation
There are 9 cider-apple varieties 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).
