Cidre de Leguer (Brittany, France)
Cidrerie du Léguer French Ciders
About Cidrerie du Leguer: From the Bretagne (Brittany) region of France, Cedric and his wife Kate are a relatively young cider making duo. They began making cider after discovering a somewhat abandoned cider farm near Lannion in Northwestern France. Their first commercially released vintage was in 2016. Their orchards are all managed organically, with little more than pruning the trees and mowing the grass done to maintain them. They grow a variety of native French cider apple varieties, including Marie Menard, Jeanne Renard, Fréquin Rouge, Belle fille de la Manche, Kermerrien, Freilach’, Peau de Chien, Bedan, Douce Coët Ligné, Locart vert, Petit Jaune, Rouget de Dol, and more. All apples are harvested from the ground and then allowed to mature in wood crates before pressing. 100% native fermentation with no additions. Their ciders are all keeved for a natural filtration and then bottle conditioned. Common amongst Breton cider, theirs all range from Dry, to Extra Dry. Each cuvée is blended by Cedric to his preference of taste.
