LES VERGERS DU CHOUQUET

Local producer

On their farm on slopes of the Auge country, on the edge of Calvados, the Aguinet family strives to exercise traditional and extensive production. On a surface of 10 hectares, with low and high orchard orchards, their production is rewarded with the famous AOC Country for their Calvados, pommel and cider.

For the pommel, the particularity of this operation is to carry out a very long ageing in oak barrels and to carry out an assembly between several years (5 to 8 years) for a slightly smoked and truly powerful alcohol in the mouth.
