Château du Breuil

French Spirits

Nestled in the heart of Normandy, Le Château du Breuil is an estate rich in history. Built at the beginning of the 16th century, several large families stayed there such as the BOUQUETOTs, the MONTGOMERYs (1611-1658), the young Tancrède DE ROHAN (1630-1658), the BENCEs (1696-1734)... Inscribed on the list of historical monuments, the Château is a reflection of Augeron architecture.

In 1954, Philippe Bizouard, whose family has always distilled Calvados, decided to buy the Château to found his own distillery. In this place, around the Castle, he found everything he was looking for: space (a 28 hectare park), industrial buildings, apples in the surrounding villages, and qualified labor.

Today, Château du Breuil still distills Calvados and has its own orchards, in the communes of Breuil en Auge and Saint-Philbert des Champs, for a total area of ​​42 hectares planted with 22,000 apple trees. The mild and humid climate and the clayey soil of the Pays d'Auge, rich in nitrogen and potash, give Château du Breuil the ideal context for the development of these fruit trees.

From now on, the story continues to develop and enrich itself through multiple experiences. The Château combines tradition and innovation, drawing on its history and know-how to develop new projects such as Rum, but also the creation of its Norman Single Malt Whiskey.
