Claque-pepin Dessert
French apple aperitif from Normandy, stocked in Commack.
The story behind Claque-pepin
Pommeau de Normandie is a French aperitif made by blending unfermented apple juice with young Calvados apple brandy, then resting it in oak. The result is sweet but balanced, with baked apple, caramel and a warm spirit edge, usually around 16 to 18 percent alcohol. It is a protected appellation from Normandy, and it drinks more like a dessert wine than a spirit.
We keep Claque-pepin Pommeau De Normandie in the dessert section here in Commack. It is a small find, so call ahead if you want to be sure a bottle is waiting.
