Emmanuel Camut Pommeau Ambrosia

FROM SKURNIK WINES: Apéritif made in the style of Pommeau de Normandie by Emmanuel Camut in Normandy, France. Made from 100% apples grown in the Pays d’Auge appellation. Apple must (unfermented apple juice) is boiled overnight to concentrate sugar, sometimes reducing it by more than half; must is then combined with 4-year-old Calvados. Darker than a regular Pommeau, notes of preserved apple, vanilla and aged balsamic vinegar enticingly introduce a palate of baking spice and custard pastry with pleasant, fresh apple cider tannin on the finish. This apéritif leans towards a dessert wine with an explosion of tarte Tatin flavors. Exceptional.
