Le Pere Jules
Le Pere Jules is primarily a producer of Calvados. However, its orchards, located in the heart of the Paye d’Auge in Normandie, also produce the apples for their beautiful ciders.
It was upon his return from the First World War in 1919 that Jules Desfrièches – who had already earned the nickname of “Père” Jules or “Father” Jules – with a love for his region and its apples, decided to turn his passion into his trade. Orphaned at a young age, he was raised by his grandparents, who were themselves in love with Normandy and its treasures. In 1923, Jules distilled Calvados for the first time, without knowing that it was the beginning of an institution.
In 1949 his son, Léon Desfrièches, joined the family business. On his arrival, he created the brand “Le Père Jules,” in honor of his father and was passed on to future generations until The grandson of Père Jules, Guillaume Desfrièches, joined the family business after he finished his studies in oenology in 2002 to become the fourth generation in the affair.
