In 1937 René Gilbert founded Coquerel calvados and settled in the Manoir du Coquerel, in Normandy, in the department of Manche a few kilometers from the world renown Mont-Saint-Michel. François Martin partnered with the company Asbach & Cie to acquire Coquerel distillery. During the first years, they constituted important stocks of great Calvados. They renovated the cidery, expanded the distillery and built new aging cellars. They acquired hundreds of new and re-used French oak barrels that have previously contained Cognac, Pineau des Charentes or fortified wines. In 1991, Diageo, acquired Domaine du Coquerel. In 2014, the third generation joins the family distillery. Pierre Martin Neuhaus launches in 2015 Normindia Gin and Coquerel calvados The Cask Finish Collection range.
