Distillation and production

Production method

Apples and pears are selected and pressed to obtain a must that ferments naturally (minimum indicated duration 21 days). The resulting cider is distilled on the lees in traditional copper column stills (three columns), producing eaux‑de‑vie that are then aged and blended. The cellar master controls the blending and the balance between fruit and wood.

Distillation

Distillation on the lees in traditional copper column stills (three columns), as described by the producer.

Ageing

Aging in contact with French oak casks; blends are controlled by the cellar master to preserve the apple character.

Producer history Domaine / Distillerie Coquerel

Founded in 1937 by René Gilbert, Domaine du Coquerel (often referred to today as Distillerie Coquerel) is a family-owned Normandy house specialised in Calvados production. Over generations the company has preserved local traditional practices while modernising equipment and expanding export activity. In recent decades the range has been extended to include Pommeau, cider and an in-house artisanal gin.

Production philosophy

Balance between tradition and innovation: full control of the supply chain from fruit to bottle, careful selection of cider apple and pear varieties, and respect for the fruity profile typical of the Norman terroir. The approach aims to showcase the apple aroma without it being overwhelmed by wood.
