Founded to put an end to illicit distilling of Calvados in the Domfront region, the Calvados Comte Louis de Lauriston cellars today possess forgotten treasures dating back to this period of clandestine production: a unique range of vintages covering several decades. Calvados from Domfront is original on account of the high percentage of poiré used along with cider apples; the soil (schist and granite) and the distillation process (single-pass distillation) also contribute to its individual character.
