About Calvados Roger Groult
The history of the Groult family distillery started in the eighteenth century when the family settled in the “Clos de la Hurvanière”, a beautiful farm located in the hills of the Pays d'Auge in St. Cyr du Ronceray. A few decades later, in 1860, Pierre Groult (1830-1918) decided to distill his cider and to age the eau-de-vie obtained in oak barrels: Calvados Groult was born. Through his hard work, his production methods and a beautiful terroir, his Calvados quickly obtained a good reputation among connoisseurs. His son Leon (1874-1923) developed the production and sales of Calvados at regional level. Leon’s son, Roger (1905-1988) made of his distillery one of the most renowned and respected in France. His son Jean-Pierre (1946-2008) was a pioneer in exporting his Calvados around the world. The products are now in restaurants and cellars of 30 countries.
Today the traditions are upheld by fifth generation distiller and Jean-Pierre's son, Jean-Roger, manages the distillery.
