Tasting note

Classic Calvados aged in casks having contained only calvados and cider. 


World-wide celebrated! 


FRANCE: Martine NOUET comments: "We all dream of achieving maturity without losing our freshness: let's hope that we all succeed as well as this COEUR DE LION 1973." 


U.S.A. Paul PACULT'S Spirit Journal - The ten-year Summary Issue Recapping every rating from 47 editions of the Spirit Journal from 1991 to 2000. The ten best brandies I've tasted : 1991-2000 "Coeur de Lion" 1973 Calvados Pays d'Auge France N° 5 !!! 


Michael JACKSON - Observer Magazine, October 27, 2002: "In this instance, the cask was refreshed with new cider, and it shows ripe fruit and apple blossoms in the fragrance and palate. Nutty, autumnal finish".


Delivery information

Most orders to New Zealand leave within 2 to 7 business days depending on the item. If anything is delayed we will tell you.

New Zealand orders travel by tracked international post. The cost is calculated at checkout. The free delivery threshold offered in Australia does not apply to New Zealand orders.

Prices are shown in New Zealand dollars. Orders may attract New Zealand customs duty, GST and clearance fees on arrival. Those costs are set by New Zealand Customs, are payable by the recipient, and are not collected by Liquor Wine Cave.

Once your order is confirmed you will receive a shipping notification with a tracking reference. Larger or mixed orders sometimes travel as more than one parcel, and you will get tracking for each.

Alcohol can only be delivered to a person aged 18 or over. The courier may ask for photo ID and will not leave your order unattended. We do not offer authority to leave on alcohol orders.

We do not deliver to PO boxes or parcel lockers.
