Lemorton Calvados Domfrontais 15 Year
Normandy, France
About this product
Lemorton Domfrontais 15 Year is the benchmark for Calvados Domfrontais — the appellation that requires a minimum 30% pear spirit. The pear character makes this Calvados lighter, more floral, and more ethereal than Pays d'Auge. At 15 years, the pear becomes more preserved and complex; the spirit has remarkable delicacy and length.

Calvados and Camembert is the quintessential Norman pairing — both from the same hedgerow-orcharded landscape. The brandy's pear-caramel cuts through the cheese's fat and amplifies the earthy-butter note.
