Older varieties of apples are favored because of their complexity despite the fact that they don't produce as much juice -- it's truly a labor of love. .

Tasting Notes

"This a great introduction to Normandy's proudest beverage: Calvados. Manoir de Montreuil's Reserve has succulent fresh apple character with a lingering finish of French vanilla and clover honey. At 42% there is a spirituous kick that harks to Calvados' rustic past, and the added alcohol gives the brandy some extra weight compared to others in this price range. Certainly there are more complex calvados out there, but as a beginner’s bottle, cocktail mixer, or simply great deal, it's hard to argue with the value."
