Christian Drouin is today one of the most respected names in the category: they farm their own apple orchards with traditional varieties, press their own juice, and distil in copper alembic pot stills for maximum character and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pays d'Auge AOC requires double distillation and a minimum of two years in oak — but Drouin's core expressions are aged far longer, building the honey, baked apple, and spice complexity that distinguishes great calvados from mere apple brandy. Their cider is made with the same care: traditional varieties, slow fermentation, no added sugar. A rare benchmark for what Norman cider can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France  |  \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pays d'Auge, Normandy  |  \u003cstrong\u003eFounded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1960  |  \u003cstrong\u003eSpecialty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calvados Pays d'Auge, Brut Cider\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.calvados-drouin.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVisit Drouin's website →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"drouin-cidre-brut-4-5-75cl-1","title":"Drouin Cidre Brut 4.5° 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eNormandy cider done the right way: dry, apple-forward, genuinely refreshing.
