Christian Drouin Cider

Christian Drouin is best known for its Calvados, but hidden among Normandy's apple orchards is another treasure: cider. It sparkles with the same respect for the fruit and the same craftsmanship as the house's brandy, minus the fire of the still.

  • Bottle of Christian Drouin Pommeau de Normandie in amber gold
    Christian Drouin Pommeau de Normandie 70 cl 17%
    Item no.: 22227865427-19884

    Somewhere between cider and calvados sits pommeau – a Normandy tradition where the apple's sweetness is allowed to survive, because the calvados halts fermentation long before the sugar turns into more alcohol. Christian Drouin has been making it for decades, and the result feels closer to a sweet dessert wine than a classic spirit.

    Expert description

    Christian Drouin Pommeau de Normandie is a French Pommeau made from cider and calvados, bottled at 17%.

    Pommeau is made by blending fresh apple must with calvados. The alcohol in the calvados stops the must from fermenting further, so the apple's natural sweetness stays in the bottle instead of turning into extra alcohol. Drouin's version combines roughly three parts apple must to one part calvados, and the blend rests for at least 14 months in oak before bottling. Pommeau is mainly produced in two French regions, Brittany and Normandy, and this bottle comes from Normandy, where the tradition runs deepest.

    The drink is classically served as an aperitif, but it also works well alongside desserts or a strong cheese.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh apple with a touch of honey, backed by a light nutty note from the cask.

    Palate

    Sweet and full-bodied, with ripe apple must, caramelised sugar and a tart edge that keeps the sweetness in check.

    Finish

    Medium length and soft, with apple lingering alongside a gentle warmth from the calvados.

    Did you know?

    Pommeau is one of the few French drinks where the law requires the producer to make both the cider and the calvados that go into the blend themselves. Drouin therefore handles the entire process from apple to bottle within its own facilities in the Pays d'Auge.

About Christian Drouin Cider

Christian Drouin is one of Normandy's most respected Calvados houses, and its cider is the natural extension of the orchards that already supply the raw material for the house's brandy. Mostly apples are pressed, but pears too, and the cider is fermented without added sugar, preserving the fruit's natural character. For newcomers it's a light, refreshing way into Norman apple tradition, while connoisseurs appreciate that the same exacting standards apply here as in the house's award-winning Calvados.

History & Background

The Drouin family has distilled Calvados in Pays d'Auge since the 1960s, when Christian Drouin himself built up the house from a collection of owned and leased apple orchards. The cider emerged as a natural side product of the extensive fruit growing and shares the same philosophy of single-variety apples and minimal intervention. Today the house is run by the next generation, who have expanded both the Calvados and cider ranges without compromising on traditional methods.

Production & Style

The cider is made from traditional Norman apple varieties, pressed and fermented slowly to develop a complex, balanced flavor.

Signature Style

Fruity, Dry, Elegant
The flavor offers a pure apple character with pleasant acidity and a dry, elegant finish.
