A quarter of an hour's drive from Deauville in Normandy, time has stood still. The green valley landscape of the little river Touques opens up into a half-timbered dream via a gravel path. The picturesque 17th century estate is the home of Calvados Christian Drouin.
Calvados is produced from more than 30 different varieties, for which Drouin has been awarded over 200 gold medals. There is also a gin available in 4 different flavors. Made from apples, of course.
It is the only gin that is based on the Eau de Vie de Cidre from around 30 different apple varieties, the distillate that is produced after the first distillation process of Calvados production, in addition to neutral spirit distillate.
I liked it a little better here than at Château Breuil, as it is a little more informal and not quite so touristy.... Kisses 😘
