The Pommeau of Normandy |
||||
The Pommeau is a blend of Calvados and Apple juice. A precise volume of a one year old Calvados is mixed with 'mout' (non fermented cider) - the proportions are calculated in order to obtain a final alcohol rate of 17 % vol - and is put in a blending casks. The mix is then slowly stired. After that, the Pommeau is stocked in 400 litres oaks cask (4 to 5 years old cask whose tannins are not worked out) so that it continues to age for about 30 months. This particularly long ageing gives the Dupont Pommeau a special flavour. Under its beautiful golden mahogany color (that can get cloudy if the pommeau is stocked at a temperature inferior to 8ºC - however, that doesn't affect its taste), the Pommeau hides vanilla, crystallized apples, prunes and dried fruit aromas. |
