An aromatic symphony unique in the world, uniting 50 shades of plants, citrus fruits and spices with great Calvados vintages in AOC Pays d’Auge, which have received 17 prestigious medals: 5 gold medals, 6 vermeil medals (between gold and silver), and 6 silver medals.
Tasting:
Enriched by apple aromas, some will recognise mountain herbs such as black Génépi, or powerful spices such as red Sicilian chilli, or Timut pepper,
The palate will delight in plants from Provence, such as oregano, rosemary and verbena, or Corsican citrus fruits and the delicate scents of its maquis.
Among many other plants, the finest noses will be roused by red centaury, by a light scent of the violets of our meadows, by several varieties of mint, by the young shoots of our Douglas firs or the honey of our apple trees.
History:
100 years ago our great-grandparents and their parish priest devised a herbal syrup so beneficial to health that apothecaries distributed millions of bottles of it. In their honour we have completed their recipe.
But since we dared to add to these botanical essences great vintages of AOC Pays d'Auge Calvados, including our XO with an average age of 20 years, the purists woke the good old abbé, who turned in his grave crying SACRILÈGE! The perfect name for this liqueur!
Once they have tasted it, they will no doubt go to confession… before pouring another!
