Craft bars & cider bars
A real draft cider list, with proper rotation. From easy-drinking brut to cask finishes.

Cider,
on tap,
organic.
Cider is poured on tap in London pubs and Asturian sidrerías. In France, the offer was missing. Here it is, with apples from our own orchard, organic since 1967: seven cuvées in 20 and 30L kegs, from easy-drinking brut to triple fermentation, including cask finishes aged in Calvados and Islay whisky barrels.
The new craft wave
Cider belongs on tap.
In France, one adult in three says they never drink beer* (see footnote). Cider is the answer for them. Draft cider is the freshness of fruit set against the bitterness of hops, without leaving the counter behind.
The English-speaking world worked that out long ago. Cider always has a tap of its own there, between two craft beers.
Our draft cider is craft, from the domaine's own orchard. The range is built for customers who expect a proper cider at the bar. Seven cuvées, seven profiles that share nothing, from perry at 4.5% to triple fermentation at 8%.
Once the offer is there and clearly announced, cider finds its drinkers. Cider bars prove it, La Cidrerie on the canal Saint-Martin in Paris or Judor in Bordeaux. It also works in beer bars that keep a cider tap on all year, in Caen, Lyon, Toulouse, La Rochelle, Avignon.

Our approach
Unapologetically craft,
from orchard to cellar.
Our orchard
The apples grow here, fifteen heritage varieties, organic since 1967. We press, we ferment and we fill the kegs at the estate. What comes out of the tap comes straight from our orchards.
Wild yeasts
Fermentation is carried out by the wild yeasts living on the apples and in the cellar, built up there over decades. That population belongs to this estate alone, and it is what signs our profiles.
Creativity in the cellar
Our cellar master, a trained oenologist, builds the range the way a craft brewer builds a list: roasted malt maceration, Calvados and peated whisky cask finishes, triple fermentation. Craft recipes, out in the open.
