3 gold medals and 4 vermeil medals (between gold and silver) for the Calvados Pays d’Auge VSOP «Secrets de Famille » of the Château de Courménil.
100 % of the vintages that compose it have received the highest distinctions.
Aged in our historic cellars for 8 years on average, twice the legal requirement. The result was worth the patience, for only years in the cask give the more complex aromas the time to appear. They complete the beautiful floral notes characteristic of young Calvados.
On the road to excellence, this VSOP follows in the footsteps of its big brother, our famous XO.
Tasting:
Vitality, power and wisdom are the 3 pillars of this fine blend.
To the eye, a luminous chestnut coat, as the riders of the Haras du Pin, our neighbour, would say.
On the nose, the freshness of our apple aromas, fruity and brioche-like over light oak.
On the palate, a harmony of flowers, fruit and wood over notes of honey.
All the fruity liveliness of a young racehorse, for a finish with the delicately toasted notes of the very old Calvados of the Pays d’Auge.
