The Legacy of Château du Breuil
Nestled in the heart of the acclaimed Pays d’Auge, Château du Breuil boasts a history as rich and deep as the Calvados it produces. This historical estate, a true jewel of Normandy, is renowned for its dedication to crafting spirits that embody authenticity, tradition, and unparalleled quality.
With its roots extending over 400 years, the château remains a testament to architectural grandeur and cunning craftsmanship. The surrounding 42 hectares are home to approximately 22,000 apple trees, nourished by the region’s mild climate and clay-limestone soils — elements critical to producing premium cider apples.
Réserve des Seigneurs 20 Years: A Benchmark in Calvados
Château du Breuil’s Réserve des Seigneurs 20 Years stands as an exemplary Calvados Pays d’Auge AOC, distinguished by its aged complexity and refined character. Designated as an XO (Extra Old), this blend invites connoisseurs to savor the nuances of its 20 to 25-year aging process, preserved beautifully at 41% ABV.
Using only the finest estate-grown apples, including over 120 varieties and a crucial 12% perry pears for sophistication, the spirit undergoes natural fermentation and double distillation in traditional copper pot stills. This meticulous process is not just a legal requirement for Pays d’Auge AOC but a tribute to the heritage that elevates each bottle into a realm of luxury.
Sensory Excellence
Look
A deep amber to mahogany hue reflects its extended time maturing in French oak casks from Limousin or Tronçais forests. This visual depth signals the tannin-rich, complex nature of the spirit.
Nose
Indulge in an aromatic journey that begins with Granny’s fruit cake, enriched by sultanas, baked apples, and toasted nuts. Secondary notes of dark chocolate, floral hints, and a smoky edge paint an enticing aromatic picture.
Palate
The taste experience is as sumptuous as it is diverse, with flavors of sweet baked apples, sultanas, and dark chocolate unfolding into cinnamon, orange zest, and roasted nuts. A full-bodied, round texture merges with well-integrated tannins, ensuring a superb integration that leaves a mark of elegance.
Finish
A prolonged and exceptional finish, where spices, oak, and dried fruits pleasantly linger, confirming its graceful complexity and refined depth.
An Acclaimed Masterpiece
Praised at the International Wine & Spirits Competition with a Gold Outstanding Medal, and lauded internationally for its superior quality, this Calvados finds its place amongst the elite of aged spirits.
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
Perfectly enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped glass to maximize its aromatic palette, the Réserve des Seigneurs 20 Years is a splendid digestif. Pair it with Normandy cheeses like Camembert, desserts such as apple tart, or even smoked meats for an enhanced tasting experience.
