In celebration of two centuries of Calvados mastery, Père Magloire proudly presents the XO 200th Anniversary Calvados. Meticulously crafted by Cellar Master Jean-Luc Fossey, this limited-edition Calvados represents years of dedication and artistry. Fossey’s journey began with a unique vision in the late 2010s, curating barrels with a variety of grain types and bousinages. In an unprecedented move, he chose to finish part of the blend in Norman oak barrels from the Camembert forest, adding a truly distinctive element to this anniversary edition. The finishing touch includes some of the Cellar’s oldest treasures, notably a 50-year-old Calvados, culminating in an exceptional blend that honors 200 years of tradition.
