Michel Hubert Calvados

Nestling deep in the lush fertile county of the Pay D'age les Vergers de la Moriniere is the idyllic location from which Michel Hubert produces some of the very best farm produced calvados.

Michel Hubert controls every aspect of the production his calvados and this knowledge and expertise passed down through five generations has culminated in a product admired for its quality throughout calvados producing community. Michel tells me that a little pear from the 200 year old tree next to the cellar in his cider helps ensure its quality, this man knows calvados.

Michel was a great host upon our visit sampling and checking the nose and color of everything we tried, you could tell that he really cares about every aspect of his product. Unfortunately his personal 1965 calvados which we were allowed to taste straight from the barrel is not for sale however we can recommend any product from this great producer.

Calvados Cocktails and Cuisine

Of course it’s a personal opinion but we think that any older quality produce should be savoured without accompaniment excepting good friends, fine food and perhaps a good cigar.
