Our buying advice for Christian Drouin 2004
De Christian Drouin 2004 is de perfecte keuze voor liefhebbers die houden van een exclusieve calvados. Deze calvados komt uit Frankrijk en werd gebotteld op 42%. De prijs van deze calvados ligt wel wat hoger, maar de smaak en kwaliteit maken dit meer dan waard.
Flavour notes
The aroma opens with ripe apples and honey, then gradually moves towards cinnamon, brown sugar and toasted wood. There is a distinctly pastry-like side too, with notes reminiscent of brioche and baba.On the palate it is direct, yet finely structured and very rich. Baked apples, spice and dried fruit such as almonds and raisins sit alongside toasted wood, while a touch of candied orange adds another gourmand detail.
The finish is soft and brings to mind apple pie, strudel, blackcurrant and brown sugar, with a subtle echo of the finesse associated with Foursquare rum.

Product info about Christian Drouin 2004
Christian Drouin 2004 is a Pays d'Auge Calvados bottled at 42%, with a notably rich and deep style. Part of its maturation took place in former Foursquare rum casks, giving this vintage an extra layer of warmth and aromatic depth while keeping the ripe apple character at its centre.The appeal here lies in the way classic Calvados fruit is surrounded by honeyed, spiced and pastry-like notes. At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as the kind of bottle that speaks to drinkers who enjoy Calvados with a more generous, gastronomic side: baked apple, brown sugar, toasted wood and a rounded sweetness all play their part.
The rum cask influence is not just a footnote. It appears most clearly in the soft finish, where the character gently recalls the finesse of Foursquare rum. Christian Drouin 2004 remains firmly rooted in Calvados, but with a warm, layered signature that makes it stand apart.

About COEUR DE LION
When Christian Drouin (the father) acquired Fiefs Sainte-Anne on the Gonneville hills near Honfleur in 1960, he had no idea how big his surname would become in the world of Calvados. He planted apple trees on his land and soon the desire to produce calvados too grew. Christian was a bold and enterprising man, working for the first 20 years to refine his distillates of apple cider. The calvados produced in those years is aged in different types of barrels, which beforehand include sherry, port or calvados, and rest for years in the old farm buildings. Christian also acquires several lots of old calvados from other reputable makers. During this period, Drouin also wins his first medals at regional competitions and in Paris.
Son Christian joins his father in the business in 1969, but it is not until 1979 that it is decided that the stocks are large enough to enter the market. Immediately, an international approach is adopted and a focus on older and higher-quality calvados than had previously been the norm in the industry. This approach paid off and Calvados Drouin became a fixture in the better restaurants and hotels around the world. In 1991, production moved to another 18th-century farmhouse in Coudray-Rabut.
In 2004, the third generation emerges. Guillaume Drouin is an agronomic engineer and oenologist. He first took charge of the export side of the business for 5 years, before taking over first production and then general management. to this day, Guillaume and his father Christian still realise the assemblages of the current products together.
