The Pere Magloire Calvados XO is the cornerstone of the collection. Connoisseurs appreciate the perfect balance between the fruitiness of the apple and the flavours absorbed during more than nine years of ageing in century-old oak barrels.
It is notable because it is made only from cider from apples harvested in the Pays d’Auge, an area covering barely 6% of Normandy. The character this soil gives the apples, combined with double distillation in copper stills, offers the X.O. a unique aromatic richness.
Pere Magloire Calvados XO is double distillation and is light ruby colour with seductive aromas of ripe apples. The flavour is complex with tender red fruit bouquet and sparkling fresh vanilla, along an impressive aftertaste.
