Terroir: The Lecompte distillery is located in the area of the most renowned region, the Pays d’Auge. In this area, apple varieties grown in the sandy, limestone soils near the town of Lisieux are expertly assembled by “Maître de Chai” Richard Prével.

Features:

Calvados du Pays d’Auge is produced in a very limited area and compulsorily involves double distillation, following the method similar to Cognac. LECOMPTE 5 ANS d’AGE is the result of blending Calvados Pays d’Auge aged 5-6 years. Maturation begins in small new barrels and continues with aging in large cider barrels or “pommeau.”

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Golden blond.
• Nose: Intense scents of vanilla and baked apple.
• Flavor: Woody notes blend a simple, defined taste. Pleasantness and elegance characterize this Calvados.

Recommended pairings:

Lecompte Calvados 5 Ans is ideal to enjoy on its own to appreciate all its nuances. It can be paired with hard cheeses or with a fresh apple to further enhance its fruity flavors.
