Its Calvados is built from more than 20 apple varieties grown in the Pays d'Auge, an appellation set between two rivers with soils ranging from sandy and silty to clay and chalk — each producing different apples. The varieties fall into four groups: bitter and bittersweet for tannin and complexity, sweet for fermentable sugars, and sour for freshness and acidity. The Fine is the youngest expression, aged at least two years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh orchard fruit — ripe apple with floral lift\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright and fruit-forward with a light oak frame\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean and crisp\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Busnel, Pays d'Auge, Normandy, France\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calvados Pays d'Auge AOC (apple brandy)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/brandy\"\u003ebrandy\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Calvados?\u003c\/strong\u003e An apple brandy from Normandy, France, distilled from fermented apple cider and aged in oak.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Pays d'Auge mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is the highest-ranked Calvados appellation, where apples must be grown on designated land and the spirit double-distilled in copper.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow should I serve Busnel Fine?\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent over ice as an aperitif, with tonic, or mixed into cocktails for a Normandy twist.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Calvados?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"An apple brandy from Normandy, France, distilled from fermented apple cider and aged in oak.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does Pays d'Auge mean?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is the highest-ranked Calvados appellation, where apples must be grown on designated land and the spirit double-distilled in copper.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How should I serve Busnel Fine?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Excellent over ice as an aperitif, with tonic, or mixed into cocktails for a Normandy twist.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Busnel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42903956848711,"sku":"S 080432610572","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/busnel-fine-calvados-pays-dauge.jpg?v=1782414223","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/busnel-calvados-fine","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
