The Story

About Marquis de Saint-Loup V.S. AOC Calvados

Calvados is the famous brandy that is produced from apples, sometimes with the addition of pears. Pays D'Auge is the most celebrated region within Normandy, France, where some of the finest calvados in the world is produced. It is there, near the village of Saint-Pierre, that the Marquis de Saint-Loup estate has stood since the 17th century. The region is known for its abundant apple orchards, cheeses including Camembert, and thoroughbred horse farms.

The orchards of Marquis de Saint-Loup consist of 50 acres of regular-sized apple trees (tall standard orchards). They adhere to organic standards while building on the rich tradition that has garnered the Marquis de Saint-Loup family countless awards and accolades over the 3 generations, bringing global recognition to the brand.

Their VS AOC calvados is crafted, bottled, and aged at their estate from 30 varieties of Normandy and Brittany cider apples. These varieties thrive on the argilo-calcareous soil that consists of clay and limestone. The apples are left to drop from the trees, meaning they have reached full maturity. After they are harvested, they are pressed and fermented for several months. The cider is then distilled using a single column still. Then the distillate is aged in small oak casks that include ex-sherry, cognac, and port casks for 2 to 3 years. The resulting calvados is very fruity with additional dried fruit and spice notes.
