With its 30 hectares of orchards, the Dupont Estate has been resolutely committed for many years to a quality approach. Drawing inspiration from the best techniques used for cognac and 'grands crus', the Dupont family has studied, experimented and refined its production techniques to achieve the level of elegance and expression of the best wines.
By relying on the expertise of oenologists from wine-growing regions, the estate is enriching its methods. For cider, it uses techniques similar to those of wine: aging in barrels for the Cuvée Réserve, the traditional method of sparkling wines for the Cuvée Colette. All ciders are vintage.
