Vieux Calvados Lemorton Hors d'Âge 15 ans is a beautifully matured Calvados that showcases the elegance and depth of long-aged Normandy apple brandy. With 15 years of ageing, it offers remarkable concentration, finesse, and a classic expression of the region’s time-honoured distilling tradition.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a warm amber to deep gold hue, reflecting its extended time in oak. The nose is layered and inviting, with notes of baked apple, dried fruit, vanilla, toasted wood, gentle spice, and subtle nutty richness.
On the palate, it is smooth and well-rounded, with matured orchard fruit, caramelised apple, cinnamon, and a refined oak influence leading to a long, graceful finish. The additional ageing adds complexity and polish, giving it strong cellaring appeal for those who appreciate a more evolved and contemplative spirit.
Production
Produced in the heart of Normandy, this Calvados is rooted in the traditional apple-growing terroir of the region, where cool maritime conditions help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity in the fruit. Lemorton is known for working with carefully selected apples and for following classic distillation and ageing methods that emphasize purity and depth. The spirit is then matured for 15 years in oak, allowing it to develop its layered character and rounded texture.
Food & Serving
Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up its aromatic complexity. It pairs wonderfully with apple tart, tarte Tatin, aged cheeses, dark chocolate, or simply as a digestif after a refined meal. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, and decanting is not necessary, though letting it rest in the glass for a few minutes can enhance the aromatics.
Producer

The producer has built its reputation on expressive, age-worthy spirits that reflect the identity of the Calvados region.
