Lemorton Sélection Calvados is a pear-rich Calvados Domfrontais from Normandy, France, aged at least 3 years in used French oak. It is bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof) and was ranked #12 on VinePair’s 50 Best Spirits of 2021.
Didier Lemorton makes his Calvados at La Baillée Fétu in Mantilly, in the Domfrontais area of Normandy, where the appellation requires at least 30% pears. Lemorton uses 70–80% pears, with apples making up the rest. The juice ferments naturally on its lees in large wooden casks for 9 to 10 months and is single-distilled on a traveling, wood-fired copper column still shared with two neighboring producers. The Sélection is the youngest in the range, aged a minimum of three years.
For fans of rustic, slightly funky brandy, it is a superb cocktail spirit: pair it with or swap it for whiskey in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, and match it with baking spice and savory herbs. It is also lovely neat.
