DROUIN
The story of Drouin Calvados began around 1960. There was nothing to indicate that Christian Drouin was destined to make a career in spirits. Nothing, that is, apart from his taste for good food and good wines. When he bought a farm he decided to use the cider-apple orchards to produce calvados. His aims were simple; produce the best, top-quality spirit. The first "Pomme Prisonniere" was marketed by Calvados Christian Drouin in 1981.
Since that time, "Pomme Prisonniere" has been so successful that the trade mark "Pomme Prisonniere" is now often mistaken for a generic name. Today the third generation is hard at work and in this time has achieved no fewer than 127 Gold medals.

Handcrafted with meticulous care, Drouin's cider showcases the essence of Normandy's renowned apple orchards. A selection of handpicked apples comprises a harmonious blend of bitter, sweet, and acidic varieties.
Apples are crushed and naturally fermented using wild yeasts, the slow fermentation capturing their essence, resulting in a cider that is complex and elegant. Further aging in oak casks adds depth and refinement.
Aromas of ripe apples are accompanied by delicate floral notes and hints of earthiness. Fine bubbles create a creamy mouthfeel in a harmonious blend of sweet and tart. Surging home on crisp acidity, it culminates in a refreshing, invigorating finish.
A blend of about 30 apple types, some providing body, the sweeter, softer varieties delivering flavour and balance. Whether enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with a range of dishes, this delicious cider promises to elevate your drinking experience.
