history
Calvados Lelouvier offers a unique collection of vintage Calvados produced in the south of Normandy. The company was established by Alain Lelouvier in Briouze in 1933. While Alain Lelouvier was taking care of the distribution of the calvados, it was only his wife Cecile who was selecting the calvados. The company was transmitted to Christian Lelouvier, one of his 11 sons in the 70s. Lelouvier became of  the most respected name in Normandy, a specialist of old and rare bottles. Accumulated in this way over generations, the old Calvados vintages that blend the subtle fragrances of apples with the spice of the wood have founded the reputation of the Lelouvier brand, recognized as a timeless standard in France’s finest restaurants
