FERME DE LA JANIÈRE

Cider grower

Pierre Bourdon fell into the apples at the cradle! His grandfather and father already were traders of cider, delivering 1 500 litres barrels in all the coffees in the Villedieu-les-Poêles region. Peter could not escape the family virus. Today he proposes in his farm discovery of La Janière à La Colombe, four kilometres from the silent city, in the heart of his apple orchard, some wonders of his vintage: raw cider, soft, natural and filtrés cider. Régulièrement regularly awarded and graduates, among others, to the competition of the Golden Apple, organised each year in the nearby village of Gouvets which rewards the best cider in the region. A member of the association of "Apple Croqueurs", Pierre, with all his bonhommie, will be happy to make you discover the secrets of fruit around local varieties at the same time as he tells you the trees of the orchard. An introduction to the pomologie that will make you better appreciate the know-how of this exciting and passionate producer. You can naturally extend this moment around a glass of cider, pommel, old Calvados and other Agricultural products after being passed through the press, the cellar and before you install, why not, for picnic under apple trees or a meal in the room with wood fire. Nice no?
