It also offers a fine range of artisanal ciders, gins, eaux-de-vie and original liqueurs. Here, every stage of production is mastered: cultivation, selection, pressing, fermentation, distillation, aging and blending are carried out to the highest standards. The establishment works with over forty varieties of cider apples and pears, some from neighboring orchards, carefully chosen for their aromatic richness. To find out more, opt for a guided tour. You'll explore the secrets of distillation, the ageing cellars and the cider house, before finishing with a convivial, gourmet tasting session. You'll appreciate the diversity of aromas and the finesse of the products.
