Boulard Cuvée Auguste XO Calvados Pays d’Auge is an elegant and richly matured apple brandy that pays tribute to Pierre-Auguste Boulard, the founder of the historic Boulard house in Normandy. This exceptional XO Calvados reflects generations of expertise in blending and ageing apple brandy, celebrating both tradition and craftsmanship.
Produced in the prestigious Pays d’Auge appellation, this Calvados is crafted from carefully selected cider apples that are distilled and matured in oak barrels. Over time, the Cellar Master expertly blends eaux-de-vie from different casks to create a beautifully layered spirit with remarkable complexity and balance.
The result is a refined Calvados displaying harmonious notes of ripe apples, vanilla, honey, and caramel, complemented by subtle hints of toasted almonds and gentle oak. Rich yet smooth, it delivers an elegant palate with layers of candied fruit, dried fruits, and warm spices.
Award-winning and deeply expressive, Boulard Cuvée Auguste XO is perfect for sipping slowly, offering a luxurious taste of Normandy’s finest apple brandy tradition.
