High-stem orchards planted to a broad selection of heritage varieties provide the sweet, bitter and acidic fruit needed to create a complex cider for distillation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter 10–11 months fermenting in wood, the dry cider is distilled twice in the family's wood-fired copper pot stills. The eau-de-vie then spends at least 12 years in large, seasoned oak vats and tonneaux, gaining texture and spice while preserving the clarity of its apple character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeep amber-gold with copper reflections and a clear, glossy rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eNose\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eBaked red apple, wildflower honey and cream are layered with cinnamon, nutmeg and a quiet smoky note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePalate\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoft and rounded, with apple tart, toffee and roasted orchard fruit carried by well-integrated warmth. Seasoned oak contributes fine spice rather than overt tannin, and the finish is pure, harmonious and lingering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eServing suggestions\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour neat in a tulip-shaped glass and allow it to rest briefly. Pair with Camembert baked with rosemary, apple crumble, or roast pork with cider sauce, or serve alone as a composed after-dinner drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBackground story\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDomaine de Semainville is a family-run Pays d'Auge property where orchards, cider making, distillation and ageing remain closely connected. The Camuts' long, patient fermentations and distinctive wood-fired stills set their production apart from more industrial Calvados.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwelve years of maturation places this bottling at a compelling midpoint in the range: deeper and more rounded than the six-year-old, yet still centred on vivid apple fruit rather than the darker rancio of the oldest blends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Camut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31906818687036,"sku":"CAMUT12","price":156.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/1984\/8252\/files\/copy-of-camut-calvados-12-ans-0-standardised-600x960.png?v=1791377943","url":"https:\/\/sommelierschoice.co.uk\/products\/camut-calvados-12-ans","provider":"Sommelier's Choice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
