CHAMPIONING THE TASTE OF TRADITION: PIERRE HUET FROM FRANCE---
At the Manoir la Brière des Fontaines in Cambremer, France, a family tradition has been passed down through five generations, each one dedicated to producing the finest Calvados. It all began with François Huet, the great-grandfather who laid the foundation for the family's legacy of excellence in 1859.
His son, Pierre Huet, took the reins and elevated the brand's reputation by selling their products to esteemed restaurants like Paul Bocuse, Taillevent, and Guérard. Pierre's son, François Huet, was a master distiller whose passion for the craft resulted in vintages that are still a source of pride for the family today.
In the 1970s, Pierre's grandsons, Pierre and Philippe Huet, joined the family business and continued the long-standing tradition of producing exceptional Calvados. And in 2005, the fifth generation of Huet producers, François-Xavier Huet, joined Philippe and honoured the memory of his father, who passed away in 2004, by upholding the standards of quality and taste that have defined the Huet brand for over a century.
Today, the family continues to produce Calvados using traditional methods, preserving the authentic taste and aroma that have made their products renowned among connoisseurs. With each bottle, the Huet family pays homage to their ancestors and their commitment to producing the finest Calvados in France. Visit the Manoir la Brière des Fontaines to experience the taste of tradition and the legacy of Pierre Huet, a true champion of Calvados.
