high. This percentage of pears gives the
Calvados Domfrontais from Lemorton a
lighter color compared to the Calvados
Pays d'Auge, but creates a more elegant
and light taste.
Lemorton's production is small. They
distill the pear and apple cider after aging
it for 11 months in oak barrels. Distillation
takes place in their single-distillation
alembic once a year. The clear distillate
then goes into 30 years old barrels made
from neutral wood, so that you get the full
and refined flavours from the fruits.
The pears are gathered from tall standard
pear trees which can reach 20 meters
