Adrien Camut - Calvados Pays d'Auge 6 Years

Rich and juicy, with aromas of green apple and caramel, with hints of chocolate vanilla, and mushroom. The palate builds with textured notes of plum, dried apricots, date, and butterscotch emerging, before returning to green apple with cinnamon and green herbs on the finish.
