- TASTING NOTE: A young and vibrant Calvados, made in the AOC Domfrontais region of Calvados in Normandy, France, Victor Gontier uses a high ratio of pear to apple brings softness, roundness and ripe aromatics. There's a touch more caramel and toffee in this release due to some extra ageing. This expression is a 'farm-made' calvados, which means that it is made entirely on the farm.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: According to the importers, “Long after the outcome of mobile phones, calling Victor Gontier on the only landline by their entrance door, one would enjoy a cacophony of chook noises , roosters calls, pigs squeals in the courtyard, confirming the authenticity of the place and thus of its production.” The controlled Domfrontais appellation requires at least 35 percent pear juice, which gives a softer character and lends itself to quicker maturation.
