It is produced in the winter, at a time when all the officials were abroad and could not descend to visit and check the legality of the activities of the owners. This went on until one of the famous night in 1962 when a group of officers broke into the cellar of a house and the owners caught in the act. Within one hour dozens of farmers came to this site to learn that one of them got into trouble. Officials were trapped and, realizing that they do not break out the farmers were forced to send for Count Louis de Lauriston (then secretary general of the federation of farmers), in the hope that it will help to break the deadlock. After lengthy negotiations, it was decided to cancel the fine imposed on the production of calvados, but there was a condition: Calvados is necessary to produce and implement in accordance with the law.
