La monnerie distillery's history

Huddled together in bass Normandy at the heart of Ornais Bocage, you will find la Maison Legay, wich belongs to the Legay familly, a family of distillers since the early 20’s.

Constant, the grand-father, was the founder of the distillery. Born in 1891, he had a strong personality, and wanted to make his life comfortable. Its curious mind ahead of his time, leads him to gain lands and plant several apple trees. then, he grew its own orchards and also developed a dairy activity.

Supported by his wife Suzanne, our father named Rémy succeeded him in the early 60’s . Suzanne discreetly secured the placing of their son in the society.

Since 1988, Didier Legay, his grandson, helped by his wife Isabelle ran the lands located in Cerisy-Belle-Etoile in order to perpetuate the tradition of calvados elaboration the same still (alambic), over a century old.
