To celebrate this exceptional anniversary, Père Magloire had to offer a Calvados worthy of the event: the XO 200
— Jean-Luc Fossey —
“It’s a project he’s always secretly had in mind”
After ten years of research and blending, Père Magloire XO 200 was born, “the expression of 200 years of savoir-faire of one of the most illustrious distilleries of Calvados”, according to Jean-Luc Fossey, Père Magloire cellar master.

A unique finish in Norman oak barrels
Some of the juices that make up XO 200 have been placed at the end of the maturing process in Normandy oak barrels from the Camembert forest, a finish that has never been made before. Finally, some of the oldest Calvados in the cellar, notably a 50 year old, complete this incredible palette.
