Domaine du Manoir de Montreuil Calvados 1989

Domaine du Manoir de Montreuil Calvados is a single-vintage Normandy apple brandy from the 1989 harvest.

The family works its own orchards in the Norman countryside and bottles each year separately, so every release reflects one harvest. Cider apples, dozens of local sweet, bittersweet, bitter and acidic varieties, are blended for structure and perfume, milled, pressed and left to ferment naturally for months. The dry cider is run through copper stills and laid down in oak in a damp cellar, where the strength falls slowly and dried-apple and rancio notes build.

Decades in cask have made it mellow and complex, with baked apple, toffee and warm spice. Sip it neat at 18-20°C after a meal, or with apple tart, Camembert or Livarot.
