Jean-René Pitrou took over the estate in 1984 with his wife Claude. He structured the range, professionalised it, and launched calvados production. Under his hand, the estate became what it is today.

His cuvée is in his image: structured, built to last. A cellaring cider that evolves in the cellar and reveals its depth after a few years of patience.

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.
