Cider
The natural phenomenon of alcoholic fermentation in apples has been known since ancient times. French-style cider comes in different types: doux, slightly sweet, with an alcohol content of less than 3°; demi-sec, with an acquired alcohol content of over 3°; and brut, more bitter, with an alcohol content of around 4°. Traditional cider is characterized by a more intense flavor and a slight natural residual cloudiness, with an acquired alcohol content of over 4°.

Some ciders are flavored. Cidre bouché comes in a champenoise bottle, usually 75 cl, closed with a wire worm and a mushroom cap. Normandy cider is protected by five A.O.C. cidricoles, guaranteeing product quality through the selection of regional apple varieties and strict management of production methods: Calvados, Calvados Pays d'Auge, Calvados Domfront, Cidre Pays d'Auge and Pommeau de Normandie. Many of these appellations are available from Eric Bordelet.

Domaine de Kervéguen - Cidre Brut 2023

savoury patties

"A well-balanced Breton cider".

This cuvée of Brut is a true Brut tendre: between sweetness and bitterness, it has a long finish, supported by beautiful bitters. Ideal with a savory galette!

Domaine de Kervéguen - Cidre Carpe Diem Prestige 2023 (moelleux)

apples
aperitif
soft

"A cider of exceptional refinement!"

This "Vendange Tardive" is comparable to the great Sauternes sweet wines, with a high level of residual sugar. Here, it's all about taking your time to obtain the most concentrated juice possible: late apples passerillés for 2 months, slow pressing (24 hours) and 6 months' fermentation in oak barrels. Great finesse of bubbles and aromatic complexity.

"A vintage made for the table".

L'Argelette (the name given by the old-timers) refers to the schistose pebbles on which the orchard stands. A "Grand Cru" cuvée made from old trees and as many varieties as possible. The fruit is blended in the same way every year: 40% bitter, 40% sweet and 20% tart, in keeping with the vintage. A complex, vinous cider with good ageing potential, thanks to its balance of substance, acidity, roundness, fullness and minerality.

"A real call to gourmandise!

A cider with lovely aromas of wild apples, a tangy mouthfeel, a lovely sweetness and a good mellowness. A very elegant cuvée with fine bubbles, best served at the end of a meal, with desserts, or as a "four hours" with warm pastries.

"A lively, gourmet cider, ideal throughout the meal".

Cidre Bouché Brut is a wonderful introduction to the orchards of the Yonne region and local varieties such as Avrolles. Its golden yellow color is a marvel in the glass, and its full nose of ripe apples recalls the sweetness of autumn. Its liveliness gives it great ageing potential.

Notes of baked apples, rhubarb and stone fruits on the nose of La Sansée, a brut cider with no added sulfites, followed by wild touches after aeration. Very fine, lively bubbles accompany a rich, intense palate of fresh applesauce, with wild notes of cut hay and fresh wood. The pretty finish, balanced between tannins and acidity, extends to a long finish. A must-try!

Halfway between brut and doux, the Brut Tendre cuvée, which still has some residual sugar, still offers a fine balance between fruit and substance. Slightly windier by nature, it's a pleasant accompaniment to an entire meal of everyday cooking... A great deal of delicacy!

Superb aromas of wild apples, a tangy mouthfeel with a lovely sweetness and mellowness, this is the cuvée to reserve for the end of a meal with desserts, or for "four hours" on pastries served warm. Low in alcohol (3% Vol.), this bottle is a real invitation to indulge!
