Christian Drouin
Christian Drouin is a celebrated producer of Calvados, a traditional apple brandy from the Normandy region of France. Founded in 1960, the Christian Drouin distillery is renowned for its dedication to preserving and refining the art of crafting Calvados. The family-run business focuses on producing high-quality Calvados using apples from their orchards, which consist of a carefully curated selection of apple varieties to create a balanced, complex spirit.
Christian Drouin’s Calvados is known for its rich, aromatic profile, with expressions that range from fresh and fruity to more mature, aged versions that develop deeper notes of spice, oak, and dried fruit. The aging process, done in oak barrels, plays a crucial role in shaping the character of the spirit, with younger Calvados offering vibrant apple flavors, while the older expressions, such as the XO or vintage bottlings, reveal layers of caramel, vanilla, and roasted nuts.
In addition to their traditional Calvados, Christian Drouin has also expanded into producing pommeau, a fortified apple wine, and cider, always maintaining a focus on artisanal techniques. The brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and terroir has made it one of the most respected names in the world of Calvados, offering a true taste of Normandy's apple orchards in every bottle.
