Marquis de Saint-Loup Calvados 15 Year Old

This elegant Calvados is produced, bottled, and aged at a 17th century estate near the village of Saint Pierre in Normandy, France.
A fine amber color with a nose of cashew, almond, and pear aromas. The finish is a lingering, fine, and tender brandy. Serve in a small brandy glass at the end of a meal as a digestif. Pairs beautifully with a square of fine chocolate and a nice cigar.

This calvados has been distilled once in a single column still and aged over 15 years in small oak casks. 

750 ML bottles. In individual gift boxes. 40% alc/vol.

The oldest Calvados deserve the greatest respect: Choose a liqueur glass such as a tulip glass or small brandy snifter and pour your Marquis de Saint-Loup Calvados with care.  Warm it tenderly in the hollow of your hand.  Run the amber liquid slowly round the glass (held by the base) and admire its color and the patterns it traces on the sides of the glass. Calvados needs to breathe to develop its full qualities.  Wait for at least two minutes before bringing the glass up to your nose, finding the distance at which you can distinguish and absorb the subtle aromas. Then, take a few drops in your mouth before swallowing.  Now you are ready to truly savor your Calvados, sip by sip.  Take your time, and you will note a surprising development in flavor and taste. If you do not indulge too freely, your Calvados will leave a delicate fragrance on your palate.
