Everything about Pommeau totally explained
Pommeau is an alcoholic drink made in northern
France by mixing
apple juice with apple
brandy (it is a
mistelle).
It is 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 apple
must (unfermented
cider) to a quantity of one year old
Calvados. The proportions are chosen to ensure that the resulting mixture has 17% alcohol by volume.
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 around 30 months.
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 two
appellations covering manufacture in
Brittany and
Normandy:
Pommeau de Bretagne, and
Pommeau de Normandie.
