Berneroy Calvados Now Available
Taste. Tradition. The Spirit of the Apple.
Classique Wines & Spirits, along with the House of Camus, are proud to present Berneroy Calvados to the Missouri market.
Calvados has been produced in the historic French region of Normandy for at least 5 centuries. Calvados finally recieved the status of Appellation d'Origine Controlee (AOC) in 1942.
Distilled from dry cider made from traditional varieties of cider apples, Calvados is the world's finest and most renowned oak-aged apple spirit. Over 180 named apple varieties are authorized for making calvados; these fall into 4 categories: Sweet, Bittersweet, Sharp (acidic) and Bitter. The combination of these different flavor characteristics produces an aromatic, complex and well-balanced calvados.
Three different award-winning Berneroy Calvados are available:
Berneroy Fine - minimum of 2 years oak ageing. Fresh and fruity. Bursting with fresh apple flavors and aromas. Serve straight up, on the rocks or in a variety of cocktails.
Berneroy VSOP - minimum of 4 years oak ageing. Hearty and aromatic. Full-bodied with ripe apple flavors and notes of vanilla oak. Enjoy as an after-dinner drink, over ice, or in a variety of cocktails.
Berneroy XO - minimum of 6 years oak ageing. Rich and complex. Rich, complex flavors of baked apples and subtle oak with a long, memorable finish. Savor neat, as an after-dinner drink, or with a splash of water.
What sets Berneroy apart?
- The use of carefully selected, traditionally grown cider apples from the best independent orchards in Normandy.
- Single distillation concentrates the cider's fruit character and gives our calvados an authentically rustic touch.
- Ageing in barrels that have less tannin preserves the spirit's original aromatic intensity.
- Packaging that's timeless and authentically simple.
- Strong brand heritage
- Excellent value
