About Roger Groult.

Normandy — Pays d'Auge (St-Cyr-du-Ronceray) ·Est. 1860

Calvados Roger Groult is a five-generation Pays d'Auge distillery at Clos de la Hurvanière in St-Cyr-du-Ronceray, Normandy. The Groult family has farmed the estate since the 18th century; commercial Calvados distillation began in 1860 when Pierre Groult (1830–1918) started distilling his cider, winning the family's first gold medal in 1893. The distillery uses three traditional copper pot stills, two of which were set up by Léon Groult in the early twentieth century. Estelle, Charlotte and Jean-Roger Groult — the fifth generation — now run the operation.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Roger Groult

Normandy — Pays d'Auge (St-Cyr-du-Ronceray)

The Groult family's Clos de la Hurvanière in St-Cyr-du-Ronceray, on the heights of the Pays d'Auge, has been in family hands since the 18th century. Pierre Groult (1830–1918) began distilling his estate-grown cider in 1860, founding what is now Calvados Roger Groult, and winning the family's first gold medal in 1893. His son Léon (1874–1923) developed the operation by planting additional orchards, building a second ageing cellar, and installing two of the three pot stills the house still uses today. Léon's son Roger (1905–1988) gave his name to the house and led further expansion through the mid-twentieth century.

Roger's son Jean-Pierre (1946–2008) extended the distribution across France and pioneered the family's first exports. The fifth generation — Estelle, Charlotte and Jean-Roger Groult — now manage the estate. The house works solely in the Pays d'Auge AOC, the strictest Calvados sub-appellation, requiring double distillation in pot stills (rather than the column distillation permitted in broader Calvados). The range covers the age tiers from 3 to 18 years, plus a Réserve Ancestrale — extracted from the very oldest cellar stocks. The pot-still production model and the multi-generation orchard provenance both contribute to a recognised house style of structured, mid-weight Pays d'Auge Calvados.
