Boulard Hors d'Age
The Boulard Hors d'Age Calvados is produced exclusively
from blends of various Pays d'Auge Calvados varieties, the
age of which varies between 10 and 20 years or above.
Following a rigorous selection of complimentary
characteristics, the head cellarman blends the chosen
batches in various proportions.
They remain in the tun for the time necessary to obtain a
perfect smoothness.
Colour:
Shiny amber/copper colour.
Fragrance:

extraction of tannin).
Taste:
Powerful, intense, displaying a great deal of harmony.
Hints of apple tart and dried fruit, in particular prune.
Aftertaste:
Exceptional persistence for all taste components.
Blend:
Calvados varieties of 10 to 20 years of age and above
(average around 15 years). The official regulations
