Their Calvados AOC Pays d’Auge, on the other hand, is distilled in a copper pot still which creates a mellow and full-bodied Calvados.

To receive the IGP designation, all apples used to make Marquis de Saint-Loup cidre must be an approved variety and must come from a specially certified geographic area.

Tasting notes

Old gold, thick, even tears.
The nose opens with notes of ripe apples and honey, before evolving into scents of
cinnamon, brown sugar and toasted wood in a deliciously pastry-like universe
enriched by notes of brioche and baba.
On the palate, the attack is straightforward, with a fine structure supported by toasted wood. Very rich, the palate also offers a pastry-like balance between the sweet flavors of baked apple, spices and dried fruit (almonds, raisins). A note of candied orange completes the gourmet aromatic palette of this Calvados.The smooth finish evokes apple pie, strudel and brown sugar, reminiscent of the finesse of Foursquare rums.
