CALVADOS MORIN

It is one of the oldest factories in Normandy! This prestigious house, which was founded in 1889 in La Haye de Calleville near Brionne, moved to Ivry la Bataille in 1945 to an old distillery. Its precious brandy ages according to the rules of art and tradition in several hundred small oak barrels, in the shelter of huge troglodyte cellars that are dug into the chalky hills. The cellar master blends the best Normandy wines to delight the enthusiasts of the beverage. The Morin Calvados, which are of high quality and international reputation, regularly win gold medals at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris and at La Foire de Caen. You can visit the beautiful cellars, discover the job of calvados breeder, taste and, of course, stock up on bottles (pommeau and cider are also on sale). About €24.75 for a young calvados of 2 or 3 years old and €158 for a vintage of 1973. But those who like it don’t bother about the price, right?
