About Manoir d'Apreval

Manoir d'Apreval is a respected Calvados producer from Normandy, known for its rich apple brandy aged for years in oak casks. For newcomers it's an accessible introduction to the world of apple brandy, with clear notes of vanilla and spice; for connoisseurs the name is a solid reference within the classic Norman Calvados style.

History & Background

Manoir d'Apreval is based in the Calvados district of Normandy, a region where apple growing and apple brandy distillation have been part of agricultural life for several hundred years. No specific, publicly confirmed founding year for the producer has been found, but the house follows the classic Norman method, in which apples are harvested locally, pressed, fermented, and distilled twice before the brandy is aged for years in oak casks. This insistence on traditional methods is characteristic of many of the region's Calvados houses, which have often been run by the same families across generations.

Production & Style

The calvados is distilled from cider made from the estate's own apples and matured in oak casks in the estate's cellars.

Signature Style

Apple-Forward, Elegant, Full-Bodied
The flavour is elegant and apple-forward, with full-bodied, cask-driven depth.
