Cider growers Finistère

Between Lannion and Morlaix, overlooking the Douron valley, the 5.5 hectares of orchards of the artisanal cider factory of Cozmezou offer an enchanting landscape. In this truly Breton territory, a whole range of products are made that will delight you and convince you to come and live in North Finistère! Apple juice, cider, vinegar, pommeau (excellent), brandy and chouchen (mead, the true nectar of the gods) are all made according to a traditional know-how that honors the local culture, its craftsmen and its producers.

This family cider factory is still growing. Each passing season confirms its notoriety. Today, it is Gilles Goalabré, with his wife Annie, who has taken the reins of the exploitation and his production is at the height of the know-how bequeathed by his grandparents. He took over the torch about ten years ago and decided to follow the quality approach. Annie and Gilles produce PDO Cornouaille cider. Au pressoir du Bélon counts, today, 5 hectares of orchards that tourists or friends of passage are made a joy to visit on the occasion of a stay on the side or on the road of the vacations. A small stopover as enriching as refreshing where one learns some secrets of manufacture (about fifty apples are used here) and, where, especially one rushes for a tasting. It is difficult to leave empty-handed: Bélon cider (brut and semi-dry), "Cornouaille" cider recognizable by its golden-orange color will delight your taste buds. Happy beverages crowned with gold and silver medals completed by a range of other nectars, white brandy ("Blanche Goalabré"), cider brandy from Brittany ("Lambig Goalabré"), pommeau from Brittany and cider jelly delicacies, apple juice..
