Located between St.Malo and The Somme in Normandy France is the apple rich area of France known as Calvados where one of the world's famous fruit brandies originates. With the city of Caen as it's capital , this region of production was first named in 1949 and has 11 sub-regions within Calvados itself.
The best region is the appelation Pays d'Auge found inland from the town of Lisieux where the pot still is used leaving more flavouring characteristics in the finished product , unlike the patent still which is used more often elsewhere ending up with a spirit lighter in body and structure.
Forty-eight different varieties of apples are used in making Calvados ranging from tart to sweet with pears even used to bulk up the spirit.
