Distillery Information

The family-run Calvados Boulard distillery at Coquainvilliers, in the rural heart of the département, may currently export 85 per cent of the world’s output, but it couldn’t feel less like mass-production. It’s sited on a secluded lane in a timber-framed house with an adjacent red-brick, slate-roofed barn which houses the distillery.
