PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Camut Ambrosia is a distinctive Norman apéritif crafted by Emmanuel Camut, renowned for his family's exceptional Calvados production in the Pays d’Auge region of Normandy, France. While it draws inspiration from traditional Pommeau de Normandie, Ambrosia stands apart due to its unique production methods and the specific terroir of the Camut estate, which doesn't meet the strict criteria for the Pommeau de Normandie appellation.
🥃 Production & Style
Emmanuel Camut's Ambrosia begins with 100% apple must sourced from over 25 heirloom apple varieties cultivated on the family estate. This must is meticulously reduced by boiling overnight, concentrating its sugars and flavors. The concentrated must is then blended with four-year-old Calvados, a traditional apple brandy, and aged for 12 months in 225-liter oak barrels. This process results in a beverage with a 17% ABV, offering a richer and more complex profile compared to standard Pommeau.
🍏 Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep amber hue, darker than typical Pommeau.
Aroma: Inviting notes of preserved apple, vanilla, and aged balsamic vinegar.
Palate: A rich tapestry of flavors including baking spices, custard pastry, and a touch of fresh apple cider tannin.
Finish: Lingering sweetness reminiscent of tarte Tatin, balanced by a gentle acidity.
17% ABV, 750 ml
Traditional Pommeau de Normandie derives from a protected appellation. Though the Camut family is known for its exceptional Pays d’Auge distillates, their property has never had enough stone in the soil to qualify for Pommeau de Normandie status. Instead, Camut has always released this low-ABV aperitif as an ‘Aperitif Normand’. Now, Emmanual Camut, looking to experiment, has created his own interpretation of the family’s Aperitif Normand, bottled under his own name and available to the US market for the first time.
Bottle Size: All bottles are 750ML unless otherwise noted.
