Christian Drouin

Normandy (Pays d'Auge) · Est. 1960

Christian Drouin works from a 17th-century Norman farmhouse in the heart of the Pays d'Auge — the Domaine du Coeur de Lion, named for Richard the Lionheart, with its glass-walled chai of copper pot stills built into the timbered cathedral of the original cider barn. Founded in 1960, the estate is now in its third generation under oenologist Guillaume Drouin. Every Drouin Calvados is grown, pressed, double-distilled and matured on site — the broadest fully-vertical Pays d'Auge selection in Bouchon's catalogue.

What we carry

Bouchon's Christian Drouin listing is among the deepest in the Calvados category — covering the standard tiers (Fine, VSOP, Hors d'Âge), the Pomme de Tronçais oak-finished expressions, the Le Gin range (including the Banyuls Cask and Pira finish editions), and the millésimé single-vintage releases. The Comte Louis de Lauriston Domfrontais sub-collection adds a second Calvados appellation under the same producer roof. The 1988 vintage Calvados is a stand-out for cellar-list venues.
