About this bottle

Domaine du Manoir de Montreuil Réserve is a joint venture between the importer Charles Neal and Patrice Giard, a seasoned calvados producer. The apples for this spirit come from Giard's orchards in the Pays d'Auge, and they are distilled twice using a traditional Alembic still. Preference is given to older apple varieties for their complex flavor, even though they yield less juice, reflecting a dedication to the craft.

Why there's no score

We have 9 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
