Winemaker Description
Cidrerie du Vulcain’s Cidre La Lande Foye is a gorgeous, French cider from Jacques Perritaz’s Normandy based orchard cidery. Jacques Perritaz, a botanist by training, is one of the leading figures in the cider revival. Originally based in Switzerland, he moved a few years ago to the Normandy bocage, where he has established himself on a 12-hectare estate boasting over fifty varieties of pear. Jacques’ ciders and perries are characterized by superb balance and finesse.
This cider is made from a blend of different apple varieties such as Fréquin rayé, Petit jaune, Binet rouge, Douce Moen, Kermerrien… They are hand-harvested on the Normand estate.
Blend of bitter and bittersweet apples (Petit Jaune, Douce Coet, Douce Moen, Binet Rouge, Kermerrien, Marie Ménard, Fréquin rayé), and another 5 other unknown varieties of acidulated & lightly bitter varieties. The apples come from a farm in the Domfrontais region of Normandy called La Prémoudière (farm & orchard). The soils are mainly composed of wind-generated silt on upper Brioverian shales and Cadomian granites (550 million years), on the Massif Armorican, Lower Normandy.
