General Description

Calvados Le Père Jules 20 ans is a top-of-the-range spirit produced in the Pays d'Auge region, renowned for its exceptional terroir. This calvados is the result of careful distillation of cider from traditional orchards, followed by prolonged ageing in oak barrels. This 20-year maturation gives the calvados a remarkable complexity and aromatic richness.
