About Boulard

Boulard is a French calvados house from Normandy, one of the region's oldest and most respected producers of apple brandy. For newcomers it's a warm, apple-rich introduction to the French calvados category; for collectors it's notable that the house still distils from cider made from up to 40 different apple varieties, a complexity rare even in Normandy, with several generations of the same family carrying the craft forward without compromising the method.

History & Background

The house was founded in 1825 in Normandy, at the heart of France's most celebrated apple-growing region, and has since been run by the same family across several generations. From the start the philosophy has been to use a wide range of apple varieties, up to 40 different types, to achieve depth and complexity in the cider that is later distilled into calvados. Through the 19th and 20th centuries, Boulard established itself as one of the most respected names in the category, as calvados earned its own protected designation of origin. The family's steady insistence on traditional methods, combined with long ageing in oak, has made Boulard a reference point for what authentic Norman calvados should taste like.

Signature Style

Apple-Forward, Full-Bodied, Complex
