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 .

Courménil and the Revolution

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 Committee of Public Safety lost no time in seizing them for "the crime of aristocracy" . It can hardly have been unaware of the great quality of those stocks! ( a crime of drink?)
