It was in 1979, when stocks were deemed sufficiently large, that the first Christian Drouin Calvados were released for sale. In 1990, the distillery’s activities were transferred to a stud farm in Coudray-Rabut which eventually became the Coeur de Lion estate. Aged in ex-Tokay casks, this truly remarkable version has, over almost 20 years, patiently accumulated all of the flavours and aromas of this highly prized Hungarian sweet wine in order to further assert its eternally hopeful Normand identity. Thus, from start to finish, apple sets the pace of the tasting!
