MASSENEZ Pomme Prisionaire Calvados

Massenez Pomme Prisionnière Calvados is a unique and sophisticated expression of traditional Normandy apple brandy. Made using a distinctive technique, each bottle of this calvados contains an apple that has been grown inside it, capturing the essence of the fruit in its purest form. This process, known as “Pomme Prisionnière”, results in a drink that stands out for its originality and elegance. With its artisanal approach and careful selection of apples, Massenez has managed to create a product that reflects the tradition of Calvados with an innovative and visually striking twist.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: When poured into a glass, the Calvados appears a deep, luminous gold, with amber reflections evoking the warm glow of an afternoon over an apple orchard. The light passes through it elegantly, revealing a soft, slightly dense texture that invites you to discover more.

NOSE: The first olfactory encounter is an explosion of fresh fruit aromas: green and ripe apples intertwine with a subtle floral sweetness. As you go deeper, delicate spice notes appear, such as a hint of cinnamon and vanilla, which mingle with a light sigh of oak wood, bringing an unexpected and enveloping complexity.

TASTE: The palate unfolds in a velvety, rich way. The fruit, especially the apple, is still the protagonist, but now it is presented with a honeyed softness that is balanced by a light acidity that refreshes the palate. The previously perceived spicy flavours are amplified, giving the whole a delicious complexity. The finish is long and silky, with a warm touch that leaves a pleasant and lasting sensation, almost as if the very essence of the apple were trapped in each drop.
