In Normandy, 800 types of apples are grown; the Camut family grow about twenty-five of these, favoring historical varieties endemic to the area that produce richer, less volatile spirits than are commonly found in the region. The apples are hand-harvested at optimum maturity between October and mid-December on the forty-five-hectare estate, which is planted with hautes-tiges orchards (tall trees from standard rootstock planted wide apart) that are fertilized and aerated by Limousin cows. While pears are allowed in Calvados production in the Pays d’Auge, only apples grown on the Camut property are used in Camut Calvados, and nothing is reserved for cider production.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfter crushing and pressing, the juice undergoes long fermentation, resting in oak barrels for 10–11 months. In September, the cider is double-distilled on the property’s two wood-fueled copper pot stills (one of which is seventy-five years old) and proofed with rainwater. Large vats and tonneaux are filled no higher than seventy-five percent to speed evaporation and remove volatile components from the young brandy. No new barrels are used; most originated in Limousin and are an average fifty years old. During its first few years of aging, Camut Calvados is frequently transferred between vessels to promote oxidation. Even older brandy is exposed to air at least once a year to allow for a constant exchange of oxygen, gradual reduction, and concentration of the brandy; more brandy is lost to evaporation than this coveted estate bottles each year. The blends are as natural as possible; time alone has mellowed these rich, lush spirits.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Calvados Adrien Camut","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":68036520706352,"sku":null,"price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/0647\/6336\/files\/Photo-Coming_70537b44-b554-42d3-944d-9e39b44336bd.png?v=1746661580","url":"https:\/\/prizefighterbottleshop.com\/products\/adrien-camut-calvados-6-year","provider":"Prizefighter Bottle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
