Our buying advice for Christian Drouin Reserve
De Christian Drouin Reserve is de perfecte keuze voor liefhebbers die houden van de betere calvados. Deze calvados komt uit Frankrijk en werd gebotteld op 40%. De prijs van deze calvados ligt wel wat hoger, maar de smaak en kwaliteit maken dit meer dan waard.
Flavour notes
The aroma is led by cider apple, fruity and clearly defined, with a bittersweet edge that belongs naturally to this style of apple. A gentle roundness follows, joined by spicy undertones that add depth without taking attention away from the fruit.On the palate, the impression remains harmonious and rounded. Apple stays at the centre, while the spice brings just enough lift and structure. Bottled at 40%, it keeps an approachable feel while still showing the character of a younger Pays d'Auge Calvados.

Product info about Christian Drouin Reserve
Christian Drouin Reserve is a French Calvados that gives a clear and inviting impression of the Pays d'Auge style. Its charm lies in the aromatic character of cider apples, supported by the roundness that the supplied information describes as typical for this origin.The spirit is an assemblage of different calvados, each at least three years old. They are double distilled in copper stills using distillation à repasse, an interrupted distillation method that helps shape the balance between fruit aroma and spicy undertones. Maturation takes place mainly in used oak casks, keeping the focus on the apple-driven character rather than heavy wood influence.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle we like to present to customers who want to discover Calvados through a well-made, approachable example. Its quality is supported by several awards, including Best Calvados in the world within its category at the 2023 World Drinks Awards and a silver medal at the 2022 International Spirit Challenge.

About COEUR DE LION
When Christian Drouin (the father) acquired Fiefs Sainte-Anne on the Gonneville hills near Honfleur in 1960, he had no idea how big his surname would become in the world of Calvados. He planted apple trees on his land and soon the desire to produce calvados too grew. Christian was a bold and enterprising man, working for the first 20 years to refine his distillates of apple cider. The calvados produced in those years is aged in different types of barrels, which beforehand include sherry, port or calvados, and rest for years in the old farm buildings. Christian also acquires several lots of old calvados from other reputable makers. During this period, Drouin also wins his first medals at regional competitions and in Paris.
Son Christian joins his father in the business in 1969, but it is not until 1979 that it is decided that the stocks are large enough to enter the market. Immediately, an international approach is adopted and a focus on older and higher-quality calvados than had previously been the norm in the industry. This approach paid off and Calvados Drouin became a fixture in the better restaurants and hotels around the world. In 1991, production moved to another 18th-century farmhouse in Coudray-Rabut.
In 2004, the third generation emerges. Guillaume Drouin is an agronomic engineer and oenologist. He first took charge of the export side of the business for 5 years, before taking over first production and then general management. to this day, Guillaume and his father Christian still realise the assemblages of the current products together.
