Le Père Jules - Pommeau de Normandie (750 mL)
Le Père Jules - Pommeau de Normandie (750 mL)
Le Pere Jules Pommeau de Normandie is the result of the subtle marriage of freshly pressed apple cider and Calvados (apple brandy) that has been aged for one year. Afterward, it is aged in oak barrels for several years, where the flavor will be transformed to result in a finished product with a smooth harmonious taste filled with aromas. It’s the 'aperitif,' or before dinner drink, par excellence from Normandy.
This is a blend of AOC Calvados and the must from bitter and bittersweet apples grown in selected orchards scattered across Normandy. It must be aged for at least 14 months in oak barrels and has an alcohol content of 16-18%.

About Pommeau: French-style apple ‘mistelle,’ a blend of fresh juice (called ‘must’) and brandy. Historically, in western France, fresh apple juice was blended with cider brandy to preserve the flavors throughout the year. This operation, known as ‘mutage,’ was done quietly on the family farm and, for centuries, the method was a closely guarded secret. The result became the local apéritif, called Pommeau - from ‘pomme,’ meaning apple. A fine Pommeau blends strength, sweetness and delicacy.
