Calvados

Père Magloire is much more than just a brand of Calvados. It is a part of French culture, history, and heritage. Situated in the heart of the Pays d’Auge region of Normandy, the brand is deeply rooted in the traditions and values of the area. The region has long been known for its exceptional apples, and Père Magloire sources the very best of them for its Calvados.

The brand’s history dates back to 1821, the same year that Napoleon Bonaparte died. It was founded by a charismatic and generous Norman innkeeper who was passionate about producing the best Calvados possible. His dedication to quality and tradition quickly made Père Magloire a household name in Paris during the 1920s, with his face appearing on many posters and advertisements.

Since then, eight generations of cellar masters have taken up the mantle, ensuring that the unique style of Père Magloire’s Calvados is passed down from one generation to the next. The brand’s commitment to quality and tradition has never wavered, and today it remains one of the most respected and well-known Calvados producers in France.

Père Magloire’s Calvados is made using a blend of carefully selected apples, which are pressed to extract their juice. The juice is then fermented and distilled to create a spirit that is aged in oak barrels for several years. The result is a Calvados that is rich, complex, and full of character, with a distinct taste and aroma that is unique to Père Magloire.

In addition to its exceptional Calvados, Père Magloire is also known for its commitment to sustainability. The brand has implemented several initiatives to reduce its environmental impact, including using renewable energy sources and implementing eco-friendly packaging.
