General Description

Calvados Le Père Jules 60 ans is an exceptional eau-de-vie, distilled from cider grown in family orchards. After traditional distillation using an iron still, the calvados is aged for 60 years in oak barrels. This prolonged ageing gives the calvados a remarkable complexity and aromatic richness. The Le Père Jules distillery, founded in 1919, is renowned for its expertise and commitment to quality.
