ABOUT US

At Domaine de la Flaguerie, our family's deep connection to the land in Normandy dates back to 1835, when our farm was first established. We proudly continue this legacy as family-owned Calvados producers, working closely with nature to cultivate diverse orchards. These orchards, featuring high-stem trees up to 80 years old and low-stem trees up to 37 years old, yield key apple varieties like Frequin Rouge, Bedant, Petit Jaune, Judor, and Grosse de Bayeux. We craft exceptional spirits from these organic apples, aged in French Oak casks of 350 to 500 litres, mainly from Vicard in Cognac.

Our deep respect for nature and commitment to the future are paramount. All our orchards, spanning approximately 50 hectares with 23,000 apple trees, have been managed organically since 1998. As devoted organic apple farmers, we are committed to sustainable and regenerative farming practices, constantly improving our standards. We are determined to protect our traditions and the nature we manage, ensuring quality and transparency are at the heart of our 'orchard to glass' process. This unwavering commitment to ethical production means every sip embodies our responsibility and love for the land that defines the soul of Normandy heritage.

At Domaine de la Flaguerie, every bottle begins in their organic orchards in Normandy.

Natural Harvest: Domaine de la Flaguerie collects only apples that fall naturally to the ground, ensuring they are fully ripe and rich in flavor.

Fermentation: The juice is slowly fermented into a dry, aromatic cider.

Early Distillation: Domaine de la Flaguerie distills early in a traditional column still to capture the cider’s freshness and finesse.

Aging: The spirit matures in French oak barrels, gaining depth, complexity, and elegance.

Blending & Bottling: Domaine de la Flaguerie's cellar master crafts each blend with care, preserving the character of their orchards and heritage.





From Orchard to Glass:

The Journey of Domaine de la Flaguerie's Calvados

Our Products

Welcome to our collection of exceptional spirits, handcrafted to capture the true essence of Normandy. Each bottle in our range is a testament to our family's dedication, from the fruit-forward intensity of our unaged spirit to the rich complexity of our aged Calvados and our traditional aperitif, Pommeau de Normandie. We invite you to explore the unique character of each of our products and discover the taste of our heritage.

La Flaguerie
Blanche

Discover the unaged essence of our organic Normandy orchards with Domaine de la Flaguerie Blanche. This pure apple eau de vie is the very first expression of our craft, distilled from the same cider used to produce our aged Calvados. Bottled directly after distillation, it captures the raw, exhilarating intensity of fresh apple, resulting in a spirit that is both beautifully crisp and aromatically vibrant. It is a testament to the purity of our fruit and the skill of our distillers, offering a bold and authentic taste of our heritage.

La Flaguerie
2 Year Old

Experience the vibrant essence of Normandy in Domaine de la Flaguerie's youthful 2-year-old Calvados. This spirit perfectly captures the bright, crisp character of our apples. Its straw yellow appearance glows with youthful vibrancy, while intense aromas of fresh apple mingle with delicate floral notes and a touch of acacia honey. On the palate, a burst of crisp apple dances on the tongue, followed by a lingering sweetness and a whisper of vanilla. Wonderfully versatile, this exceptional Calvados is perfect neat, in a vibrant cocktail, or as a sophisticated aperitif — a true testament to youthful energy and Norman tradition.

La Flaguerie
6 Year Old

This elegant Calvados, aged for six years in French oak barrels, is a more complex and refined expression of our organic orchards. The ageing process has transformed the spirit into a beautiful golden hue, with its intense aromas of fresh and ripe apples giving way to a beautifully complex palate. A powerful entry of fruit leads to notes of flowers, a tonic freshness, and a warm, spicy finish. This is a balanced and round Calvados, a perfect reflection of time and terroir.

La Flaguerie
Pommeau de Normandie

La Flaguerie's Pommeau de Normandie is a traditional aperitif, crafted by blending our organic apple juice with our young Calvados. Aged for two years in French oak barrels, this blend develops an elegant nose with candied notes of gingerbread, prune, and cooked apple. The palate is soft and round with rich, cooked aromas, leading to a complex and balanced finish. Best served chilled, it's perfect as an aperitif, in a cocktail, or paired with cheeses and dessert.

Permanent ground cover: They manage grass and cover crops to prevent erosion, retain moisture, and support soil microbes year-round.

Biodiversity as a tool: By encouraging a rich web of life—from bees to birds—Domaine de la Flaguerie reduces the need for intervention and lets nature support the balance.

Circular mindset: Nothing is wasted; they reuse nutrients and adapt their practices continuously to strengthen the farm’s natural resilience. To be regenerative is to give more than to take—to work with nature in rebuilding healthier land, stronger ecosystems, and a legacy Domaine de la Flaguerie can be proud of.
