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.

Pierre Huet's origin-protected Calvados varieties are obtained through the double distillation of various ciders, which in turn are the result of 12 months of fermentation of apples in oak barrels.
The first distillation serves to distil the cider. The result is the so-called "petites eaux" with around 30 - 35% vol. The second distillation results in the Calvados with 70% vol.
