"The Lemorton family has a long history in the Domfrontais. Roger is the fifth generation and his son Didier now runs the domaine. Their 9-acre property is planted with both apple and pear trees; the latter's influence is dominant; for every three apples in their Calvados, there are approximately seven pears.
The Lemortons distill their cider after aging it for eleven months in oak barrels. Distillation takes place in their own alambic, a single-distillation unit that distills to about 140 proof. The clear spirit then goes into barrels which have an average age of 30 years. This excellent vintage 1926 is not available at the domaine any more.
The best calvados Domfrontais on earth!"
