The historic cellars of Courménil

We are only the 6th family in more than 1000 years of the Great History of this estate.

Such a heritage requires us to be, not its owners, but rather its fleeting custodians, hoping to pass on the passion for it to future generations .

So it is essential to protect this heritage behind sturdy wrought-iron gates while letting the angels take their small share.

What better place to mature exceptional Calvados than centuries-old cellars listed as Historic Monuments?

One always wonders why the french language calls "communs", so handsome 18th-century buildings since nothing about them is...common! Only modest english citizens can understand why their so beautiful Parliament is also called the "House of commons " Does it secretly stores vintage Calvados from King William's time ?

The inventory taken during the French Revolution already mentions the tens of thousands of litres of cider and eaux-de-vie housed in the cellars of Courménil.

The Revolutionary Committee of "Public Safety" lost no time to behead Courmenil's Lord for "crime of aristocracy" .... to quickly seize and drink his stocks !
