CIDRERIE TRADITIONNELLE DU PERCHE
Go there and contact
In the heart of the Perche Regional Natural Park, Nathalie and Dominique Plessis welcome you to the traditional Perche Cidrerie, where the commune of TRONAS LE THEIL (the Hermitière is their brand on the bottles) is located in the middle of green hills. Producers since 1990, they cultivate their 22 hectares of orchards using organic methods. A family affair, born of a conversion, which bears fruit with happiness, from the tree to the bottle. The methods are ancestral (natural foam), with more contemporary cibacoles. The 30-minute tour organised around a video film allows visitors to understand all stages of cider (and calvados) production, to explore the facilities before delving into the heart of the matter, tasting: raw cider, semi-dry cider (including the selected cuvée of the Perche), calvados, cider jelly, sorbet and apple juice, cider vinegar, with the highlight being "Trahant", the house aperitif based on calvados. A must-visit if you are passing through is the ‘Cider Day’, organised every year on the last weekend of October (free entry, cider production, tasting of cibacarian products and farm produce, producers’ market). The cider produced by Nathalie and Dominique Plessis, who have received a gold medal and a silver medal in the Saint-Jean des Cidres competition, also holds the approval of Orne Terroirs and Flavors of Normandy. The couple, who are part of the association of Farmers of the Perche, are diligently working on the ‘AOC Cidre du Perche’ project. The visit is right, isn’t it?
