Le Brun - Organic French Cider (750 mL)
A complex, nuanced cider with a solid foundation of apple characteristics. Brilliant golden amber color. Bright, fruity aromas and flavors of baked apple tarte and buttercream with a silky, crisp, finely carbonated, medium body. Lightly sweet and fruity, but finishes dry. Notes of honey, melon, quince, orchard floor, and a slightly woody and herbal tea finish.
Le Brun French Ciders have been produced in Brittany, France since 1955. Their Cidre is made using the traditional method of natural fermentation of pure pressed juices from handpicked apples. The cider uses traditional French Cider apple varieties, including Kermerrien, Marie Ménard, Douce Moên, Peau de Chien, and Douce Coëtligné varieties. The apples are collected and aged in special wooden casks for about 3 weeks in order to enable the fruit to slightly dehydrate and concentrate its aromas. The apples are then mashed, with the pomace and juice left to rest in a tank. This helps balance the taste profile of the future cider by sweetening possible harsh overtones. The pomace & juice is then pressed again to get pure apple juice.
The apple juice is then allowed to naturally ferment in temperature regulated fermentation tanks and regularly monitored. The foaming process is totally natural. It is carried out in a controlled environment to enable the fermentation to generate carbonic gas to dissolve in the cider. The cider is then bottled in champagne-like bottles with their traditional natural cork and wire cap. These ciders are non-pasteurized in order to fully keep their taste profile.
