The family story began in the 1960s, when Christian Drouin senior purchased a farm in the Pays d’Auge and began ageing Calvados with a clear focus on quality and patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1467\" data-end=\"1838\"\u003eOver the following decades, the Drouin family built a reputation for beautifully expressive Calvados, using carefully selected cider apples and perry pears, traditional distillation and long ageing in oak. Today, the house is run by the next generations of the Drouin family and remains highly regarded for both classic aged Calvados and more modern, fruit driven styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1840\" data-end=\"2259\"\u003eCalvados is Normandy’s famous apple brandy, made from fermented cider and aged in oak. Christian Drouin Selection is designed as a youthful and lively expression, combining the sharp freshness of perry pears with the smoothness of cider apples. The ciders and perries are distilled in a column still, then aged in older casks to preserve the fresh fruit character and soft balance. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1dr5t50\" data-start=\"2261\" data-end=\"2272\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2274\" data-end=\"2470\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2274\" data-end=\"2287\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Christian Drouin\u003cbr data-start=\"2304\" data-end=\"2307\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2307\" data-end=\"2319\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non vintage\u003cbr data-start=\"2331\" data-end=\"2334\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2334\" data-end=\"2346\"\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calvados\u003cbr data-start=\"2355\" data-end=\"2358\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2358\" data-end=\"2369\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Normandy, France\u003cbr data-start=\"2386\" data-end=\"2389\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2389\" data-end=\"2405\"\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003cbr data-start=\"2411\" data-end=\"2414\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2414\" data-end=\"2422\"\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40%\u003cbr data-start=\"2426\" data-end=\"2429\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2429\" data-end=\"2439\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e French apple and pear brandy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkhill Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Pack Size 1","offer_id":48572041035993,"sku":null,"price":96.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/8015\/9961\/files\/Christian_Drouin_Selection_Calvados_700ml.png?v=1780739026","url":"https:\/\/parkhillcellars.com.au\/products\/christian-drouin-selection-calvados-700ml","provider":"Parkhill Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
