Le Pere Jules - Cidre de Normandie Brut 750ml

This is authentic French cider, crafted by a family that has been perfecting its methods for over a century. Le Père Jules represents four generations of dedication in the Pays d'Auge, the heart of Normandy. The Desfrieches family works exclusively with organic apples from their estate, where some trees are over 100 years old. In these historic orchards, a herd of cows roams freely, providing natural fertilizer and contributing to a thriving ecosystem. This connection to the land is present in every bottle.

The cider is made with a deep respect for tradition. After being hand-harvested, the apples undergo a natural fermentation with native yeasts. The magic happens during the second fermentation in the bottle, a process known as "prise de mousse," which creates the cider's fine, soft carbonation. It is never pasteurized, resulting in a living product that is complex and full of character. It pours a hazy amber, with rustic aromas of dry apple, hay, and mild barnyard. The palate is beautifully balanced, with notes of sweet apple and vanilla supported by fine tannins. This is a true taste of the Normandy countryside.
