Pommeau
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Pommeau is an alcoholic drink made in north-western France by mixing apple juice with apple brandy: Calvados in Normandy (Script error: No such module "Lang".) or lambig in Brittany (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[1][2]
Considered a mistelle, it is generally consumed as an apéritif, or as an accompaniment to melon or blue cheese. It is also popular with a variety of desserts, including any chocolate or apple-based dishes.
Production
Pommeau is made by mixing two-thirds apple must (unfermented apple juice) to one third of one-year-old Calvados. The proportions are chosen to ensure that the resulting mixture has 16–18% alcohol by volume.[3]
The liquid is then put into vats and stirred gently, before being moved to oak barrels, each containing 400 litres, and left to age for at least 14 months.[4]
The resulting drink is mahogany in colour with a bright lustre, and has an overall smooth taste, often with vanilla, caramel and butterscotch flavours.
Production is controlled by three appellations covering manufacture in Brittany, Normandy and Maine: Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang". and Script error: No such module "Lang"..
