Description

Growing apples in glass vessels: an unusual pastime shared by the Drouin and Alleaume families - amusing and tasty!

Every year in the spring the Alleaumes, apple-growers, hang between 10,000 and 20,000 bottles over budding apples in the trees of their orchards near Gonneville-sur-Honfleur. Four or five months later the carafes containing ripe apples are taken down, washed, and filled with Calvados by the Drouin family. The flavours of fruit mingle with those of the spirit to produce the most fruity of all Calvados.

In spite of more than 30 years of experience, on average, only 40% of the bottles hung in the trees are fit for sale.
