ABOUT CHATEAU DU BREUIL
Château du Breuil is a distinguished producer of high-quality Calvados, a renowned apple brandy from the Normandy region of France. Established in the 18th century, Château du Breuil embodies a long history of craftsmanship and tradition in the art of distillation.
Situated in the picturesque countryside of Normandy, the estate benefits from the region's ideal climate and soil conditions for growing apple varieties used in Calvados production. The distillery is known for its commitment to using carefully selected apples, often sourced from local orchards, ensuring a rich and authentic flavour profile in its spirits.
Château du Breuil employs traditional methods for producing Calvados, which begins with the fermentation of whole apples to create cider. This cider is then distilled into apple brandy in copper stills, allowing for the preservation of the fruit's character and aromas. The ageing process takes place in French oak barrels, where the Calvados develops its complexity, depth, and rich flavours over time.
The brand offers a range of expressions, showcasing varying ages and styles, from younger, fruitier options to more complex and mature varieties. Alongside its signature Calvados, Château du Breuil also produces other apple-based products, including pommel (apple cider) and apple liqueurs, all reflecting the brand's dedication to quality and authenticity.
Château du Breuil Calvados is characterized by its balanced sweetness, aromatic notes of fresh apples, spice, and hints of vanilla derived from the oak ageing process. It can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or used as an ingredient in cocktails and culinary dishes, adding a unique depth of flavour.
With its rich heritage and commitment to excellence, Château du Breuil stands out as a respected name in the world of Calvados production, celebrating the traditions and flavours of Normandy. Whether for sipping or as part of a cocktail, Château du Breuil offers a delicious introduction to the world of apple brandies.
