The Winery

Rooted in generations of cider-making in Normandy, Domaine Lesuffleur is the revival of a family legacy.

Benoît Lesuffleur crafts vinous ciders from heritage apples and pears grown on the clay-flint soils of Pays d’Auge. Benoît cuveés follow a precise logic — acidic varieties for freshness, bittersweet for fullness, tannin-rich for structure — with only the best 10% of the fruit making it into the bottles. Farming has been organic since 2012, incorporating biodynamic practices. His ciders are aged on the lees for 2–3 years on average. This extended ageing and natural production method yields a sparkling, vinous complexity characterized by precision, finesse, and a distinctive tannic structure.
