Taste
Sweet and fruity with a hint of apple and spices
How it is made
Pommeau is made by blending freshly pressed apple juice with Calvados, which is then aged in oak barrels. The aging process allows the flavors to meld and develop complexity, resulting in a rich and aromatic drink.
History
Pommeau du Normandie has its origins in the Normandy region of France, where apple cultivation has a long history. The drink was traditionally made by farmers to preserve apple juice and was recognized as an official product of the region in the 1980s, gaining AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) status.
In cocktails
Bartenders often use Pommeau du Normandie in cocktails as a sweetener or flavor enhancer, particularly in drinks that feature apple or spice notes. It can be served chilled as an aperitif or used in cocktails like the Pommeau Sour, where its sweetness balances the acidity of citrus.
Worth knowing
Pommeau du Normandie is often enjoyed as a dessert wine due to its sweet profile and can pair wonderfully with cheeses, particularly those made from cow's milk.
