Appearance

Aroma
The nose is gentle and refined, with great aromatic intensity. Green apple, geranium and mint create a fresh, sophisticated and immediately captivating aromatic profile that is present at the back of the nose with wonderful persistence. The bouquet reflects the extraordinary quality of Pays d’Auge apple orchards and the unique maceration of a real captive apple within the young Calvados, adding a layer of aromatic complexity that is entirely unique to this exceptional expression.
Palate
Consistent and beautifully structured on the palate, with a slightly bitter character and the first taste delivering pure green apple in all its freshness and vibrancy. The finish is vegetal with a lot of breadth — long, complex and deeply satisfying. Dupont Calvados Pomme Captive is both visually attractive and very agreeable to taste, a spirit of genuine intrigue and distinction.
