Cidre Demi Sec 75cl - Drouin is a refined expression of the Breton cider tradition, produced in the Normandy region, the undisputed homeland of cider apples. Made with a careful selection of apple varieties specific for fermentation, this cider presents a perfect balance between sweetness and dryness, typical of the demi-sec category. The natural fermentation method gives the product a pleasant effervescence, which envelops the palate with delicate bubbles and a soft texture.

On the nose, fresh and fruity aromas reveal themselves, evoking notes of ripe green apple and floral hints. On the palate, the measured sweetness gives way to a lively acidity, offering a harmonious and refreshing drink, perfect to accompany fish dishes, white meats, or soft cheeses. Cidre Demi Sec 75cl - Drouin represents an excellent introduction to the world of French ciders, ideal for those who wish to discover new gastronomic pairings without giving up a light and versatile beverage.

Distillation

Double distillation in a 2,500 L repasse pot still; first distillation to obtain the 'petites eaux' (~30°), second distillation to ~70°, with heads and tails cuts calibrated according to the quality of the cider.

Ageing

Aging primarily in small French oak barrels (many reused casks) that promote pronounced wood–air exchange; use of barrels previously used for Sherry, Port and Banyuls to add color and complexity; racking and blending carried out in larger casks when necessary.

Raw materials

cider apples (various cider apple varieties)
