‘Cidre de Fouesnant’

Brittany, France

Let’s be honest - medieval wine was probably gross for the most part unless you were literally royalty. Medieval cider? Now that was something special. Cider produced in the Brittany region of France can trace its roots back to the Roman times and had really taken hold during the Middle Ages as a specialty of the region; turns out the rolling, fertile hills and a maritime-y, rain-loving climate are perfect for growing apples. At the ripe old age of 19 (by medieval standards, lol) Hervé Seznec had already planted 30 hectares of orchards with 25 different apple varieties. The orchard grounds are covered in natural grasses and regional plants and he hand harvests the apples at peak ripeness to produce his ciders. Cider de Fouesant is made with old apple varieties and finishes it’s slow, 2.5 month long fermentation in the bottle, producing a natural carbonation that really lifts all those intense, freshly cut apple aromas, followed by a slight butteriness and toasted hazelnut flavours. Perfect aperitif for a night out at Medieval Times and betting on your favourite jouster.
