Pere Magloire VSOP Calvados

Fresh apple and pear aromas rise from the glass, joined by hints of dried fruit, vanilla, and a touch of spice. The palate is smooth and rounded, showing baked apple, caramel, and nutmeg, underpinned by gentle oak influence. Its amber-gold colour mirrors the spirit’s warmth, while the finish is long and elegant, balancing orchard fruit brightness with subtle richness from time in cask.

Founded in 1821, Père Magloire is one of Normandy’s most historic Calvados houses, known for producing apple brandies that combine tradition with accessibility. The VSOP is crafted from cider distilled twice in copper stills, then matured for at least four years in oak barrels, giving greater depth and refinement than younger bottlings. It is an authentic expression of Calvados — versatile enough to sip neat, pair with cheese or desserts, or mix into cocktails for a distinctive Norman twist.
