The VSOP Chauffe Coeur Calvados is aged a minimum of 6 years in oak. Aromas of baked apple and wood with subtle scents of nutmeg, apple peel, flowers and earth. Entry is austere at first then explodes in assertive waves of apple pastry, mineral, stone and oaky vanilla; a delicious layer of honey/light toffee is added at midpalate. Finish is elegant, dry to off-dry, and wonderfully toffee-like.
