La Maison
Ferré

Maison Ferré is an ideal stop for anyone who loves nature and appreciates authenticity. This family-owned cider producer and distillery are located in the heart of the Perche Regional Park, where the state-owned forests and hills give this natural region its typical character .

Grégoire Ferré took over the cider pro­duc­tion from his par­ents, making his live­li­hood from this typ­ic­al Perche farm with 35 hec­tares of high stem and low stem orch­ards. Over 35 cider apple vari­et­ies are grown here. Grégoire Ferré seeks out a diversity of old Perche varieties.

With great respect and a pas­sion for tra­di­tion, Grégoire Ferré pro­duces all his ciders and spir­its to the highest stand­ards, making use of a hydraul­ic press from 1950 and a copper con­tinu­ous still from 1975. There are a his­tory and a soul in everything they do here.

The tours take you through the orch­ards to the cel­lars, via the press and the still. The tech­nic­al explan­a­tions are adap­ted to the vis­it­ors’ level of know­ledge and interest. The tast­ing will be the time to dis­cov­er and dis­cuss all the intense and subtle fla­vours that the apples have to offer.

The farm is set in a woody land­scape of chest­nut and walnut trees. A “forest-garden” exper­i­ence (where everything is edible) was cre­ated during the Covid-19 lock­down in 2020; here you can find all the major spe­cies of nut trees, edible shrubs, herbs, 200 vari­et­ies of eating apple trees, quince trees and last, but not least, an ancient for­got­ten tree: the ser­vice or sorb tree.

The farm pro­duces a range of entirely organ­ic products includ­ing ciders, juices and spirits.
The Pom­meau and Calvados both have the AOC/AOP clas­si­fic­a­tions. The first AOC/AOP Perche Cider was craf­ted in 2020.

Maison Ferré loves to innov­ate and sur­prise. Along­side our tra­di­tion­al products, you will there­fore find La Cuvée du Bras­seur (an extra dry, fully-fer­men­ted cider), Les Perles d’Agathe (an alco­hol-free spark­ling apple juice which is as good as it looks!), Le Kristal (a white eau-de-vie) and Le Pom Pom (our house cocktail).

Maison Ferré rep­res­ents a link between past and future. The products are craf­ted using tra­di­tion­al meth­ods but the aim is to have a con­tem­por­ary appeal. This is why you will find the Calvados presen­ted in superb trans­par­ent bottles that show off their gor­geous amber hue and with labels that pur­posely go against the clas­sic conventions.
