Lecompte Calvados 12 Ans

Distillery: Lecompte

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 12 ANS d’AGE is the result of blending 12- and 13-year-old Pays d’Auge Calvados.

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Golden copper.
• Nose: Hints of very ripe apples and vanilla, with hints of wood, spices, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Taste: Fruity with smoky aromas, delicate tannins and spicy notes that blend with those of caramel apple.

Recommended pairings:

Lecompte Calvados 12 Ans is perfect to enjoy on its own to fully appreciate its complexity and elegance. It can also be paired with apple desserts, aged cheeses or dark chocolate for a complete taste experience.
