A luxurious after-dinner drink.
Père Jour's Calvados is exactly like an apple... its concentrated scent will captivate you. Of course you can enjoy it straight, but we also recommend diluting it with soda to enjoy the fresh apple flavor◎

It is built using an old still surrounded by traditional brick and heated by wood.

[Producer information]
A third generation apple and pear producer in the village of Saint Desir, about 3 kilometers west of Lisieux in the southern Normandy region.
It was started in 1919 by the grandfather of the previous owner, Mr. Leon Defriesch, and now Mr. Leon's four sons are responsible for building it.

They own a 38ha apple orchard and a 5ha pear orchard around their warehouse. In addition to cider, they also make poiret (sparkling pear wine), Calvados, and Pommeau de Normandie.

About apples and fields <br data-mce-fragment="1">There are as many as 60 varieties of apples.
Each type has a variety of characteristics, ranging from sweet to bitter to sour.
By using a variety of apples, you can obtain juice with a well-balanced flavor.

The soil is Argyro Silex, and no herbicides are used.
Instead, the cows are raised to eat the grass that grows, and their droppings are used as fertilizer for the fields, creating a very natural circular system.
Normally, the cows eat grass or hay from the fields, but from winter to spring they are fed cider and poiret pomace. They seem to love this.
The field has been practicing biodynamics for a long time, and its naturalness is certified.

Because it coexists with nature, there may be years when production is low, or it may be cloudy or unstable, but the power of the real fruit is a drink that has a deep, nutritious taste that makes people happy.
