The Christian Drouin Calvados Coeur de Lion Sélection 375ml is the entry point into the Drouin range, and a beautifully balanced introduction to the world of Calvados. The Sélection achieves its harmony by combining the sharp freshness of perry pears with the smoothness of cider apples. The ciders and perries are distilled in a column still, then aged in old, lightly used casks that preserve the subtle balance of the spirit and its appetizing fragrance of fresh fruit. Approachable, versatile, and genuinely delicious.

Critics Notes
Wine Enthusiast 88 Points | Light gold in the glass, the scent suggests fresh apple and pear, honeysuckle and vanilla. The palate is light, showing lots of vanilla, hints of fruit and an intriguing, very faint smokiness on the clove-accented finish. Sip or mix.
