CIDRERIE COAT-ALBRET

Cider grower

" I created my cider in 1983, I was 31 years old, at a time when nobody - except me - believed our drink had a future ". Fine omen! 30 years later, Loïc Berthelot proudly rap his success and his artisan cider, the Cellier Wood cellar. Its «pure juice» cider is developed according to traditional methods with the best fruits cultivated and harvested by its 115 suppliers in the small orchards around. Loïc has not forgotten that Ille-et-Vilaine is the cradle of Breton cider, and it is a wonderful tribute to perpetuate ancestral know-how. We no longer count the medals gleaned over the years in the competition of the cider of Brittany. Silver and bronze have repeatedly earned passion, the art of work well done and respect for the land. If you have the chance to meet him, you'll see, it's still a character, that Loïc. He will tell you the apple varieties: Bedan, Small sweet, By, Sweet onions, Frequin, Damelot, long foot… names that sing and blend to give this cider of cru to the scents of the pool. Crude (solid, a slightly rustic), fruity (end, elegant with a small point of acidity), half-dry (round in mouth, sweet and generous). Good news… Succession is assured. Berthelot Berthelot, 26 years old, is ready to take over the torch. Yec'hed mat!
