Description
Le Manoir d'Apreval is a family estate located on the coast to the north of the Pays d´Auge by the sea between Honfleur and Trouville. In accordance with traditions and appellations, the Manoir d'Apreval team operates its tall apple and pear orchards in organic farming and develops pure juice, without added sugar, and vintage ciders with natural effervescence that allow them to keep the best expression of their terroir.
Victor Révillon, the great-grandfather of Agathe Letellier, came to settle at the end of the 19th century in this corner of green nature where the climate softened by the sea air was favorable to the cultivation of fruit trees and 'breeding. From there was born a mixed farming operation on the 40 hectares of the time. An explorer businessman, he left the operation to farmers.
Polyculture operations lasted until 1998, when, on the initiative of the third and fourth generations of the cider estate, “Manoir d'Apreval” was founded. 17 varieties of cider apple trees and 4 varieties of juice pear trees, representing 1,800 trees, were planted.
