重慶批發(fā)紅酒在哪里-寸灘紅酒批發(fā)中心-小眾法國蘋果白蘭地卡爾瓦多斯Aiming for higher-hanging bar fruit offers rewards, finds our tasting panel, as they delve into lesser-utilised French apple brandy. By Colin Peebles Christensen. 本期的品酒會(huì)主角是小眾法國蘋果白蘭地——卡爾瓦多斯。品酒團(tuán)驚喜地發(fā)現(xiàn)，其中不乏出色的單品。Colin Peebles Christensen撰文。 卡爾瓦多斯指的是以蘋果或梨為原料的知名白蘭地——蘋果生命之水——它的同名產(chǎn)區(qū)位于下諾曼底，當(dāng)?shù)厣a(chǎn)和飲用卡爾瓦多斯的歷史已有一千年左右，但它在法國境外卻仍然是一種小眾烈酒。作為雞尾酒原料，它大都被用于調(diào)制寡婦之吻和杰克玫瑰，以代替更為少見的蘋果杰克。不過，盡管生產(chǎn)和出口有限，中國市場(chǎng)上的卡爾瓦多斯卻可以說是種類豐富，大膽的調(diào)酒師不妨購買嘗試。 

An apple or pear brandy of distinction, calvados – an eau de vie de cidre – has been produced and consumed within its namesake region of Lower Normandy for about a thousand years, but remains a decidedly niche spirit beyond the borders of France. As a cocktail ingredient it barely appears outside of the Widow’s Kiss, or in the Jack Rose as a stand-in for the even more elusive applejack. Still, while production and export remain limited, China is already enjoying a somewhat hushed selection of the Norman fruit brandy, now available for harvesting by intrepid bartenders. 寸灘紅酒批發(fā)中心卡爾瓦多斯必須在諾曼底的同名法定產(chǎn)區(qū)內(nèi)釀造，可以分為三類：法定產(chǎn)區(qū)卡爾瓦多斯（單次蒸餾、橡木桶陳釀至少兩年）、奧日法定產(chǎn)區(qū)卡爾瓦多斯（原料來自卡爾瓦多斯產(chǎn)區(qū)內(nèi)的奧日地區(qū)，兩次蒸餾）和杜姆伏龍?zhí)┓ǘóa(chǎn)區(qū)卡爾瓦多斯（原料是蘋果和梨，均來自卡爾瓦多斯產(chǎn)區(qū)內(nèi)的杜姆伏龍?zhí)┑貐^(qū)，梨的比例至少為30%，單次蒸餾）。標(biāo)有杜姆伏龍?zhí)┑漠a(chǎn)品必須在橡木桶中陳釀至少三年。 

A legally protected appellation, the spirit must be produced within the Calvados region of Normandy and exists across three categories: AOC Calvados, which only requires a single distillation and ageing in oak for a minimum of two years; AOC Calvados Pays d’Auge, which must be made with fruit grown in the Pays d’Auge geographical area within Calvados, and then double-distilled; and Calvados Domfrontais, blending apples with a minimum of 30 per cent pears grown in the Domfront region nestled within the wider Calvados area and single distilled. A “Domfrontais” labelling requires maturation for a minimum of three years in oak.
