Roger Groult Calvados

A family estate of four generations, the “Clos de la Hurvanière” lies in the south of Pays d'Auge, in the vicinity of Lisieux. The property consists of 15 hectares of traditional high-stem apple trees and 8 hectares of half high-stem apple trees.

In 1850 Pierre Groult started selling calvados, encouraged by winning the gold medal at the Lisieux agricultural show in 1893 he decided to further develop the Calvados production on his farm. His son, Leon Groult, succeeded him and founded his own cellar in 1900.

Roger Groult, Pierre's grandson, took over the business at a very young age. Thanks to the high quality of his father's and grand-father's Calvados, he won many gold medals and prizes of honour from 1934 to 1948. In 1950 he enlarged the family distillery. In 1975 Roger Groult and his children formed a company to enable further cellars to be built.

Today, his son Jean-Pierre heads the family business. The same methods of production have been maintained for four generations. The apples are selected from the family's own orchards and those in the immediate vicinity in order to conserve the vintage region. Groult’s philosophy is to use small still for concentration and a wood fire for a gentle non-aggressive heat.

There is no right or wrong whatever your taste there is a calvados, calvados cocktail or calvados recipe for you. There are as many to explore as there are palates to taste.

Calvados Cocktails and Cuisine

Of course it’s a personal opinion but we think that any older quality produce should be savoured without accompaniment excepting good friends, fine food and perhaps a good cigar.
