Normandy! A land of picturesque half-timbered houses, lush green pastures and apples orchards. Normandy is also a country of rich historic and architectural heritage, located in "Pays d'Auge". Nestled in the green heart of Normandy stands the Chteau du Breuil. This attractive slate-roofed chteau was built in the 16th and 17th centuries and is now listed as an historical monument. Apple is the basic ingredient to make quality Calvados. The mild and damp weather and clayed soil of the Pays d'Auge give the Chteau du Breuil ideal growing conditions for its 22,000 apple trees which surround the castle. The Chteau du Breuil company produces its own cider, coming from a 100% natural fermentation. Their know-how and experience are the strengths of the Chteau du Breuil which gives priority to high quality rather to quantity. When cider has reached its proper flavour, distillation can start... In the cellars, Calvados ages only in oak casks. Each Calvados is different, each cellar master has his own jealously guarded secret to reach the perfect taste.
