Père Magloire V. S. O.P. Calvados is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship, embodying the essence of the Pays d’Auge region in Normandy. Made exclusively from carefully selected apple cider, this calvados showcases the unique characteristics of one of the most renowned terroirs in the world.
The region's rich soil and mild climate create the perfect environment for growing exceptional apples, which are at the heart of this spirit. What sets Père Magloire V. S. O.P. apart is its meticulous production process. The cider undergoes double distillation in traditional copper pot stills, a method that enhances the complexity and depth of its flavors.
The result is a calvados with a beautifully balanced profile, offering a harmony of fruity, floral, and woody notes. Père Magloire V. S. O.P. is more than just a drink – it is an experience, a journey through the flavors and traditions of Normandy.
