Lemorton Calvados

From a picturesque farm typical of this most southerly part of Normandy the Lemorton family have for six generations been producing the highest quality farm produced Calvados Domfrontais.

Rodger Lemorton together with his son Didier run the domain. The appellation constitutes that at least 30% pears are used in the production of Calvados Domfrontais but the Lemorton family use at least 70% all of which are grown on the farm. After eleven months in oak barrels the cider is distilled using a wood fired single alembic still which visits the farm every year in September.

Enjoying Calvados

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.
