Père Magloire X.O. Calvados
Brave brandy
CalÂvaÂdos House brings us this incredÂiÂble, award-winÂning brandy from Pays dâAuge. Itâs eleÂgant, balÂanced, and delicious.
TASTÂING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR
DouÂble disÂtilled, it has a gorÂgeous aroÂmatÂic comÂplexÂiÂty. With aroÂmas of baked apple pie, cinÂnaÂmon, and vanilÂla, youâd be hapÂpy to know that it tastes as good as it smells.
PerÂfectÂly balÂanced, this Père Magloire XO CalÂvaÂdos is aged more than nine years in cenÂtuÂry-old oak casks, givÂing it its slightÂly sweet, cidery flavor.
EleÂgant and excepÂtionÂal, this offerÂing by CalÂvaÂdos House won Gold at ConÂcours MonÂdiÂal de BruxÂelles in 2020, and SilÂver at the San FranÂcisÂco World SpirÂits ComÂpeÂtiÂtion in 2016.
PREPAÂRAÂTION AND PAIRINGS
CalÂvaÂdos is incredÂiÂble enjoyed neat. Have a glass as you relax on your couch after a long day. If you must pair it with food, youâll be glad to know that itâs a very verÂsaÂtile drink.
Have your Père Magloire XO CalÂvaÂdos with some soft cheeses, like this Blue StilÂton. Or try out a traÂdiÂtionÂal NorÂmandy treat: some apple sorÂbet with two ounces of CalÂvaÂdos. DeliÂcious and fresh, as a palate cleanser or a dessert.
And of course, this apple brandyâs flaÂvors are furÂther accenÂtuÂatÂed when paired with slices of pears, peachÂes, and yes, apples.
ON THE WINGS OF BRAVERY
FoundÂed in 1821, and named for a NorÂman innkeepÂer who served excepÂtionÂal calÂvaÂdos by the name of Dominique Magloire, Père Magloire has become one ofâââif not the most imporÂtant brand for CalÂvaÂdos in France.
So well-loved is this brandy that in the fight alongÂside RussÂian solÂdiers in the NorÂmandie-NorÂman unit of the FAFL (Free French AerÂiÂal Forces) durÂing World War II, a fightÂer pilot by the name of MarÂcel Lefèvre had a porÂtrait of Père Magloire paintÂed on the side of his plane.
When asked about the image, he answered, ââThis, is Père Magloire, a NorÂman who nevÂer gives up!â He was honÂored and decÂoÂratÂed posthuÂmousÂly Hero of the SoviÂet Union, and ComÂpanÂion of Liberation.
