A new, unique and innovative distillery in Normandy

Innovation

In 2010, a new reception area with a shop and a distillery was built on the estate.

The distillery now has two stills : a pot still for the AOC Calvados Pays d'Auge production and a column still for the Calvados AOC production. 

 

In a sustainable development prospective, the Huet Family has replaced the oil previously used to heat the stills by wood chips. This system thus established is not only more economical but also more ecological as the wood chips are produced on the estate.

 

 

To go further in a sustainable production and to take into account the current issue of energy saving, the pot still has been modified to make direct use of the hot water produced by the cooler. This water can warm up the premises during winter.

 

These innovations make the Pierre Huet distillery unique in Normandy.
