The extraordinary southern exposure of the plot prompted Philippe Daufresne in the 1960s to plant his tall stem orchard instead of the old vines. It was at this time that the production of cider and calvados began for the first time on the estate.
Since 2012, the operation has been taken over by Ghislaine Davy, who is resolutely committed to continuing and developing an approach of quality and elegance. A successful conversion since by defending a 100% natural product from the Norman tradition, by taking the firm to reduce production to 70,000 bottles per year, Ghislaine Davy has been very successful.
