A blend of two-thirds apple must (unfermented apple juice from cider apples) and one-third calvados. The appellation requires Pommeau de Normandie to be matured in oak casks for a minimum of 14 months, but Père Magloire Pommeau de Normandie is aged for three years.

To avoid stripping flavour and mouthfeel, Père Magloire Pommeau de Normandie is only very lightly filtered so some natural sediments may be evident in the bottle.

Calvados Père Magloire was established in 1821 and produces Calvados and Calvados Pays d'Auge.
