Varietal: Cider/Cidre -Produced from 30 heirloom apple varieties.
Tasting Notes: Rich aromas of ginger and cinnamon-spiced apple-sauce, followed by a finely textured palate; more savory stewed apple with an appealing acid-driven tartness on the finish, and lasting notes of baking spices and stony minerality.
Since 1950, the Sehedic family has been producing ciders from traditional Breton apple varieties starting with Francois. Today, Marie Laure Sehedic and her husband Christian Danielou run the family orchards and cider making. Over the last 30 years, they’ve won 50 medals at Concours General Agricole, France’s farm product competition. Recently, they’ve won the silver medal for their semi-dry cidre and gold for their Pommeau. They also were awarded the Prix D’Excellence which is given based on their aggregate performance at the awards over the last 3 years.
The Sehedic family has about 30 varieties of apples in their nearly 20ha of orchards. Their orchards are located in the Cornouaille and Fouesnant regions of Bretagne and are organically farmed. Their Extra Brut is a blend of sweet and sharp apples and undergoes an extended fermentation to achieve a dryer than typical flavor.
