重庆批发红酒在哪里-寸滩红酒批发中心-小众法国苹果白兰地卡尔瓦多斯Aiming for higher-hanging bar fruit offers rewards, finds our tasting panel, as they delve into lesser-utilised French apple brandy. By Colin Peebles Christensen. 本期的品酒会主角是小众法国苹果白兰地——卡尔瓦多斯。品酒团惊喜地发现，其中不乏出色的单品。Colin Peebles Christensen撰文。 卡尔瓦多斯指的是以苹果或梨为原料的知名白兰地——苹果生命之水——它的同名产区位于下诺曼底，当地生产和饮用卡尔瓦多斯的历史已有一千年左右，但它在法国境外却仍然是一种小众烈酒。作为鸡尾酒原料，它大都被用于调制寡妇之吻和杰克玫瑰，以代替更为少见的苹果杰克。不过，尽管生产和出口有限，中国市场上的卡尔瓦多斯却可以说是种类丰富，大胆的调酒师不妨购买尝试。 

An apple or pear brandy of distinction, calvados – an eau de vie de cidre – has been produced and consumed within its namesake region of Lower Normandy for about a thousand years, but remains a decidedly niche spirit beyond the borders of France. As a cocktail ingredient it barely appears outside of the Widow’s Kiss, or in the Jack Rose as a stand-in for the even more elusive applejack. Still, while production and export remain limited, China is already enjoying a somewhat hushed selection of the Norman fruit brandy, now available for harvesting by intrepid bartenders. 寸滩红酒批发中心卡尔瓦多斯必须在诺曼底的同名法定产区内酿造，可以分为三类：法定产区卡尔瓦多斯（单次蒸馏、橡木桶陈酿至少两年）、奥日法定产区卡尔瓦多斯（原料来自卡尔瓦多斯产区内的奥日地区，两次蒸馏）和杜姆伏龙泰法定产区卡尔瓦多斯（原料是苹果和梨，均来自卡尔瓦多斯产区内的杜姆伏龙泰地区，梨的比例至少为30%，单次蒸馏）。标有杜姆伏龙泰的产品必须在橡木桶中陈酿至少三年。 

A legally protected appellation, the spirit must be produced within the Calvados region of Normandy and exists across three categories: AOC Calvados, which only requires a single distillation and ageing in oak for a minimum of two years; AOC Calvados Pays d’Auge, which must be made with fruit grown in the Pays d’Auge geographical area within Calvados, and then double-distilled; and Calvados Domfrontais, blending apples with a minimum of 30 per cent pears grown in the Domfront region nestled within the wider Calvados area and single distilled. A “Domfrontais” labelling requires maturation for a minimum of three years in oak.
