The apples are mixed, crushed and pressed. The apple juice is fermented right out to give cider to be distilled. Double distillation is carried out 6 months after the fermentation has taken place. The first distillation gives the "petite eau" at 30% by volume and it is the second distillation, that of the "petite eau" which gives the Calvados. Aging: Twenty years minimum. In wooden vats and toasted 400 litre (88 imp gallon) oak barrels.
The Famille Dupont is an essential reference in the world of Calvados. For several generations, this passionate family has perpetuated a traditional craftsmanship to produce exceptional Calvados.
Located in the beautiful Pays d'Auge region of Normandy, consisting of 30 hectares (74 acres) of orchards, the Famille Dupont has apple cider orchards where specific varieties for the production of Calvados are grown. These orchards benefit from a rich terroir and a climate conducive to the optimal ripening of apples.
The production process of Calvados within the Famille Dupont is meticulous. The apples are carefully selected and then processed into cider before undergoing double distillation in copper stills. The resulting eaux-de-vie are then aged in oak barrels, where they develop their aromas and complexity over time.
The Calvados of the Famille Dupont are characterized by their finesse, balance and aromatic richness. Whether it is a vintage Calvados, an hors d'âge or a special cuvée, each bottle embodies the authenticity and excellence of family production.
The Famille Dupont offers a varied range of calvados, ranging from young and fruity expressions to more mature and complex calvados. Each bottle testifies to the family heritage and passion passed down from generation to generation.
