Tasting notes and food pairings for Huet Pommeau de Normandie, an oak-aged apple and Calvados apéritif. Madeleine on Beaufort, Perth.
Huet is a family cider and Calvados producer in Normandy. Its Pommeau is a mistelle: fresh apple juice blended with Calvados, the region's apple brandy, then aged in oak.
Amber. Baked apple, caramel and a hint of spice, with a rounded, mellow sweetness and a warming finish.
A lovely apéritif, and a natural match for foie gras, Camembert, apple tart or crêpe desserts. Our team will be happy to suggest a match from the current menu or the seasonal degustation.
Normandy, in north-west France, is apple country rather than wine country. Its orchards produce cider, Calvados and Pommeau de Normandie, which has its own protected appellation.
