“After 25 years of aging, I have shaped this 1988 vintage which has now reached its aromatic fullness.” This 1988 vintage is a testament to the journey of our cellar master at Lecompte, and elevates this Calvados Pays d’Auge to the rank of the House’s most emblematic vintage.

Colour: Deep amber.

Nose: The initial impression leads us straight to baked apple, followed by successive notes of toasted almonds and vanilla, both derived from the wood. Candied orange joins these initial sensations. Some may perceive a touch of cinnamon.

Palate: Caramelized compote aromas and toasted hazelnut opening on a final note of liquorice.

Palate: Taste of baked and caramelized apple, followed by notes of gingerbread, toast, with sensations of coffee, chocolate and caramel.
