Product details
This Calvados from Lemorton is distilled from 70% pears and 30% apples in a wood-fired column still (the Domfrontais Appellation in southern Calvados has soil and climate more conducive to pear trees than apple trees, and Domfrontais Calvados must be at least 30% pear). This results in a lighter, more elegant spirit than other types of Calvados. The nose has scents of caramel apple, tart pear, and brown sugar / cinnamon. Sipping brings flavors of sweet apple, tart pear, light citrus, and a bit of toffee. A unique, delicious take on Calvados.
- Really quite delicious as a 'sipper'. An essential in our liquor cabinet!
- Smooth and fruity! Excellent stuff for the price.
- They include a healthy dose of pear, making it smooth and quite distinct. I love it!

Ever since we stumbled on Domfront and its unique pear-based Calvados decades ago, Calvados Domfrontais has been a staple of our liquor cabinet.
For me a “must have”, ever since I spent a night in Domfront and first discovered it. My wife loves it too.
“Domfrontais” is a special type of Calvados that we discovered 20 years ago while driving through Domfront in southern Normandy. It is 50% apple and 50% pear, so subtly different from other Calvados, and really quite delicious as a “sipper”. An essential in our liquor cabinet !
Calvados is apple brandy, but a bit to the south, around Domfront, they include a healthy dose of pear, making it smooth and quite distinct. I love it!
I like regular Calvados, but have a special fondness for the Domfrontais variety, with its pear component, and this is excellent stuff for the price.
