Calvados matures in barrels made from dry oak in which the contact with the wood provides all the necessary elements for its successful completion.


Our Calvados is housed in our storage cellars where it starts maturing in 2 000 small oak barrels and about thirty hogsheads or large casks, all made of white oak from the Limoges area which will bring out the best qualities in the brandy.

In the hallowed silence of our storage cellars, Calvados shapes and develops its rich personality.
Every year, we lose the equivalent of 60 000 bottles of Calvados to evaporation. This is called “the angels ’share".
Time plays his part… so does our cellar-master in charge of the delicate evolution of the different varieties of Calvados.
Like a true alchemist, it is he who oversees the blending of Calvados from different areas or crops, always to achieve that perfect balance and flavour which is the trademark of Coquerel Calvados.
