Domaine Dupont

One of the legendary houses in Pays d’Auge, the Dupont family’s 80-acre estate has stood in Victot-Pontfol, in the heart of the Route du Cidre, since 1887. Over the years, Dupont has focused on 13 apple varieties, grown amid cows used to make Pont L’Évêque cheese. Its reputation for innovative ciders almost equals that of its Calvados. Dupont’s Fine Reserve is a classic, one of the finest young Calvados, but their portfolio is wide ranging from a deep selection of vintages, 30 and 45-year-old blends, and even Islay whisky finishes. Tragically, the future of the domain is unclear, as Jérôme Dupont died in August 2018 at the age of 48. Jérôme was an icon in the region, a leading member of the younger generation of Calvados producers who traveled extensively spreading the gospel of both apple brandy and cider. His sister Anne-Pamy and father Etienne will continue to run the estate.
