La Flaguerie Calvados lands in UK
Family-run Calvados producer Domaine de La Flaguerie has appointed JBE Imports as its exclusive distribution partner in the UK.
The collaboration marks La Flaguerie’s debut in the UK market, bringing its French organic spirits range to a new audience.
The brand’s portfolio includes four expressions: unaged Blanche apple eau-de-vie, two-year-old and six-year-old Calvados, and Pommeau de Normandie apéritif, which is crafted by blending Flaguerie’s organic apple juice with young Calvados.
Jean Petrich, owner of Domaine de La Flaguerie, commented on the brand’s milestone: “Our entry into the UK market is a natural evolution for La Flaguerie. The UK’s growing appreciation for artisanal, authentic spirits aligns perfectly with our values and our story.
“We’re thrilled to be working with JBE Imports, not only to introduce our Calvados to the UK but also to represent this growing category.”
La Flaguerie’s complete product range will be available to a network of upscale bars, restaurants, and retailers throughout the UK.
Available in 700ml bottles, the spirits retail from £29 (US$39) for the Pommeau de Normandie to £47 (US$63) for the six-year-old Calvados.
The Flaguerie family farm was originally established in 1835 in the heart of Bessin. The farm comprises 50 hectares of orchards with 23,000 apple trees, all of which have been managed organically since 1998.
The JBE Imports portfolio features a selection of bitters, including The Japanese Bitters and Liqueurs by Yuki Yamazaki, as well as a diverse range of spirits brands, such as Pearse Lyons, Bareksten Gin, The King of Soho, and Kleos Mastiha.
In 2024, a JBE Imports-led consortium acquired English gin brand Pinkster.
