About the Producer Lemorton

The Lemorton estate is a family-run estate in Mantilly, Le Domfrontais. It is home to a hundred hectares planted with some forty varieties of tall apple and pear trees—as Calvados Domfrontais uses a large share of at least 30% pears. Didier and Martin Lemorton are the current owners, with Didier following in the footsteps of his father Roger and grandfather Isidore Lemorton. The estate produces several Calvados, as well as various highly sought-after vintage Calvados.
