FERME DE LA COMMANDERIE

La Ferme de Jean-François Vaultier is a former serving of the Templar. Its history, linked to that of cider, makes this stage an exciting stop that the master of the places will be happy to tell you. Here everything is carried out in reasoned culture. The grass under high-stem apple trees is area by animals, under the gets apple trees. From apple to bottle, from apple to cider, the greatest respect and utmost care are brought to the environment and to what nature offers better. We already look forward to marrying the bubbles of this Cotentin cider, slightly amertumé when it is raw, with the flavours of the agneau lamb, another king of the peninsula of Bas-Norman. Here tradition fits into the press. He saw it passing tons and tons of apples that one! Precious press! As if the years had no grip on him, he has never been missing since 1942. Even today apples are assigned to him for five hours before they go into a tank. And you learn that Jean-François takes 1,7 ton of apples to get 1 000 litres of juice. Sweet cider, raw cider, extra-raw cider: the result of the three generations'know-how which carries the banner "Terroirs Land" is often rewarded with gold, silver or bronze, during the competitions: competition of the Saint John des Ciders or contest of the union of producers of cider in Cotentin. The panoply would not be complete if we did not mention cider vinegar, cider conflict, jellies and other delicacies. Needless to say, here too we fervently hope for the upcoming arrival of AOC Cider Cotentin today, recognizable by its motto «Pleasure by nature». A pleasure we share, naturally!
