LES VERGERS DU CHOUQUET
On their farm on the 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. Calvados is obtained from a cider aged 12 to 18 months and then transformed thanks to the still at the Vergers orchards. Then we have to wait 15 years of aging to appreciate its hot notes of alcohol and its complex floral bouquet. 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. Here, no doubt, the specialties are made in the rules of art. Moreover, their cider won a Gold medal at the Salon de l’Agriculture in 2011.
