Away from the small village of Triqueville, the Jaouen family has been cultivating a 14-hectare orchard for 25 years, where about 9,500 apple trees are perfectly aligned. A lot of work was needed to get the farm back on its feet, especially after the war and the passage of the Germans, but this challenge did not scare the Jaouen couple, who were determined to change their lives.
A challenge won since today, the Domaine de Ponctey, like a Norman bocage overlooking the valley, is gaining in reputation while working its 9 varieties of apples in accordance with the history and authenticity of the farm. Last but not least, its Normandy AOC pommel (3 years old and over) won the gold medal at the 2018 General Agricultural Competition.
The apple trees, all carefully replanted by the Jaouen family upon arrival at Le Ponctey, now deliver their delicious fruits picked, sorted by hand and then transformed into pure juice and pure fruit farm cider, into exquisite pommeau or even into calvados aged in oak casks. In a shop, in an old stable, the gourmet aesthete will also be seduced by products that combine know-how and tradition, such as unfiltered cider vinegar in the traditional way, but also original creations such as homemade apple jelly, which goes perfectly with foie gras, and a surprising cider brandy, which will delight mixologists in their quest for new products. Apple juice, a natural product with no added water or sugar, is added, made in the house. An apple art, according to the Jaouen family, to discover!

La visite a débuté par une fascinante présentation du verger et des variétés de pommes soigneusement sélectionnées pour leur jus et leur cidre. Nous avons ensuite eu la chance de déguster leur délicieux jus de pomme fraîchement pressé, révélant des arômes intenses et une douceur naturelle.
Le clou de la visite fut sans conteste la dégustation de Pommeau, ce nectar issu de l'alliance subtile entre jus de pomme et calvados. Une expérience gustative mémorable, mêlant avec harmonie la fraîcheur du fruit et la chaleur de l'alcool.
Conquis par la qualité des produits et la passion communicative de nos hôtes, nous sommes repartis avec deux bouteilles de leur excellent calvados et un assortiment de six cidres, reflets de leur savoir-faire artisanal.
Cette cidrerie incarne avec brio les valeurs d'une agriculture raisonnée, alliant respect de la terre et des traditions à la création de produits authentiques et savoureux. Une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de cidre et de calvados, à découvrir absolument lors d'un séjour en Normandie !
Merci pour tout ????
We purchased some pommeau, which I had never had before, and it is delicious!
