About
Since the 1800s, the Camut family has cultivated apple trees on their 45-hectare estate in the Pays d’Auge, regarded as the finest growing region for Calvados. Of the 800 types of apples grown in Normandy, the Camut family selects about 25 historic varieties, hand-harvested at peak ripeness between October and mid-December. Only apples from their own orchards are used, ensuring a spirit rich in authenticity.
As part of the production process, freshly pressed apple juice is first fermented to create cider, which then rests in oak barrels for 10–11 months. In September, this mature cider is double-distilled in copper pot stills, including one over 75 years old. The Calvados 6 ans is aged for a minimum of 6 years in seasoned Limousin oak casks. These casks are never filled more than 75%, allowing oxidation to naturally reduce the spirit’s strength, preserving its freshness while concentrating the fruit-driven flavours.
