About the location

Domaine Dupont

Lieu-Dit La Vigannerie, 14430 Victot-pontfol

Calvados
Normandie

The Domaine Famille Dupont extends over 30 hectares of orchards in Normandy, in the heart of the Pays d'Auge. The activity of the estate is the production of ciders, pommeau and calvados.For more than 25 years, the Estate has been resolutely committed to a quality approach. Inspired by the best techniques used for cognac and grands crus, Etienne Dupont studied, experimented, refined his techniques to reach the level of elegance and expression of the best wines.
Some of these techniques, such as manual sorting of apples or working with an oenologist, are rarely encountered in the production of cider. As with wine, the quality of apples remains the essential preliminary step. The cidrification then only exalts the expression of the apple and its terroir.
