Le Manoir "La Brière des Fontaines" is a magnificent property with a long Calvados tradition and probably one of the most beautiful cellars in Normandy. As early as 1941, Pierre Huet's cellar was selected as a showcase object for a commission that was to define the "Calvados" appellation. Perhaps he is not entirely innocent in the fact that only the "Pays d'Auge" received its own appellation.
