On the top of this prestigious bottle is the seal « PH », which are the initials of our ancestor: Pierre Huet.
The year of the Millesime is indicated with wax on the neck of the bottle; made by hand.
The bottling date and the number of the bottle are written down on the back label.
Distillation :
Our Calvados AOC is obtained by a simple distillation of cider in an “alambic à colonne” (simple distillation still).
First, the juice obtained by pressing the apples is completely fermented (12 months) in one hundred year old oak barrels.
Our still is heated by an innovative and unique process in Normandy: woodchips. Woodchips produced on the Estate serves as ecological combustible.
Calvados obtained is 70% proof. Finally the Calvados Cordon Argent ages in separate oak barrels for a minimum of 20 years.
