The orchards contains a variety of apple trees (Binet rouge, Bisquet, Noel des champs, Clos renaux, Petit jaune, Peau de chien) producing multiple kinds of fruit flavors such as sweet, bitter or acidulous.
The cidery follows the Organic chart for all operations. Manually sorting out apples and pressing at a very slow process called “presse à paquet” which is the traditional way in Normandy. The must is cooled in a tank which is temperature controlled & regulated to permit their clarification.
The natural fermentation goes through a 3 month process where the yeasts is present on the fruit.
