Unlike the rest of the C. Drouin Calvados, which are Calvados Pays d'Auge AOC, Sélection is bottled under Calvados AOC and uses both apples and pears from the Domfront region.

"Among the large houses are more focused producers like C. Drouin... kind of Billecart-Salmon to Boulard's Veuve Clicquot, to put it in Champagne terms. Drouin's Calvados are always excellent, even inexpensive bottles like the Sélection." - Eric Asimov, New York Times
