It is situated in the Pays d'Auge region of Normandy which has its own AOC (Appellation of Origin Control), meaning that the house's Calvados is produced in a certain region and using strict production methods. The house is led by François-Xavier Huet, who has strived to modernize the operation, introducing sustainable practices such as replacing the oil ― used to heat the stills ― with wood chips from the estate. The hot water from the distillation process heats the visitor center. Nevertheless, François-Xavier respects the 2 centuries of tradition that have made Pierre Huet the award-winning Calvados house that it is.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n25 varieties of apples come from the 60 acres of the estate's orchards and include cider apples such as Bedan, Binet rouge, Bisquet, Fréquin rouge, Saint Martin, Rambault, Moulin à vent, and Mettais. The favorable soil with clay and limestone contribute to the taste and aroma of the spirit that is distilled from cider. Calvados is double-distilled using a traditional copper still (alambic á repasse), as per the strict AOC guidelines. The cider ferments for 12 months in century-old oak barrels on the estate, before it is distilled and carefully inspected. It is then returned into ex-Calvados oak barrels to mature.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=4095\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Calvados Pierre Huet bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Brandy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":1049473,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"23\":1}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Brandy is typically produced from distilled wine and other fermented fruit juices like apples, pears, and other sweet fruits.\\n\\nIt is a perfect after-dinner digestif served neat or slightly warmed by holding the glass with your hands.\\n\\nThe kick can vary between 70-120 proof, and it gets its flavor from aging in wooden casks.\\n\\nCheck out our impressive selection of brandies, find your new favorite in the Top 10 brandies\/cognacs, or explore the Best brandies under $100.\"}'\u003eBrandy is typically produced from distilled wine and other fermented fruit juices like apples, pears, and other sweet fruits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a perfect after-dinner digestif served neat or slightly warmed by holding the glass with your hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe kick can vary between 70-120 proof, and it gets its flavor from aging in wooden casks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck out our impressive selection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/brandy\/\"\u003ebrandies\u003c\/a\u003e, find your new favorite in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/top-10-cognac-brandy\/\"\u003eTop 10 brandies\/cognacs\u003c\/a\u003e, or explore the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/brandy\/?price=50-100\"\u003eBest brandies under $100\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Caskers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51412158644437,"sku":null,"price":46.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/pierre-huet-xo-calvados-aoc-pays-d_auge-1.jpg?v=1745582007","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/pierre-huet-xo-calvados-aoc-pays-dauge","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
