THE SECRET

ICONIC

DISCOVER

The history of Maison Lecompte starts in 1923 with Alexandre Lecompte.
Then, as he was a trader of wines and spirits in Normandy, he decided to sell his business to dedicate himself entirely to the development and marketing of his old calvados stock. In 1945, his son Alexandre took over the family business and two years later invested in the Maison’s first traditional pot still. His wish was to create the most exceptional Calvados Pays d’Auge.

The legacy

of a father and a son

The history of Maison Lecompte is rooted in the heart of the Pays d’Auge.
In this region, blessed by the gods, are planted the best apple orchards of Normandy. Its terroir and unique climatic conditions offer a magnificent garden for them to thrive.

The legacy

of a terroir of excellence

The Pays d’Auge is also the cradle of horse breeding and horse races in France.
Nearly 300 horse farms surround our cellars. These stud farms, that train some of the finest thoroughbreds in the world, share with us values of patience, transcendence and the continuous quest for excellence.
