As a cocktail, Cuvée Claude is the perfect base for the Norman Spritz.

Claude Pitrou and Jean-René together form the third generation. For forty years she brought the estate its artistic and aesthetic side, where he carried the technical one: the beauty of the place, attention to detail, the sensitive dimension of the product.

Her cuvée is in her image: generous, round, without ostentation. An indulgent medium-dry that earns its place on tables where the food speaks up, from foie gras to tarte Tatin.

Yes. The estate has been organic since 1967. All our ciders and perries are free of added sulfites, 100% pure juice, made using the traditional method with the cellar's wild yeasts.

Store the bottles lying down, away from light, so the cork stays moist. Each product page states the serving temperature. Age-worthy cuvées, such as Jean-René or Extralucidre, gain complexity after a few years in the cellar.

Payment is made by card via Stripe. The transaction is encrypted and we never store any card data.

Our bottles are certified for reuse. You can bring them back to a collection point in the national network: they are washed, then reused as they are. It's the most effective way to cut a bottle's footprint.
