098: Jérôme Dupont (1970-2018) Domaine Dupont | Normandy, FR

The Louis Dupont Family Estate is a 70 acre (30 hectares) orchard that was bought by selling the family's stock of calvados.

In this chat I speak with Jérome Dupont the great grandson of Jules Dupont who bought Domaine Dupont with the family's calvados in 1887. Jérome and his father Etienne Dupont and his sister Anne-Pamy Dupont now run the estate.

Domaine Dupont is on the Route du Cidre in the region of Normandy called Pays d'Auge.

We chat on the growing cider culture in the US and France and working with wild yeast.

The head cidermaker's at Domaine Dupont is Arnaud Ramsayer.

Jérome works with his father distilling the cidre to make calvados.

Pommeau is a blend of fresh pressed apple juice and calvados.
