Cidrerie Bréavoine
Producer of Cider, Pommeau de Normandie and Calvados AOC Pays d'Auge in Normandy.
We invite you to discover the products from our orchards just outside Pont l’Evêque, in the heart of the Pays d’Auge. For more than 20 years, Michel Bréavoine and his team have concentrated their unique know-how on extracting the best from each harvest, and thus offering a high-quality cider production year after year.
All the products presented to you are available for tasting in the tasting room on the estate, where they are produced and processed from apple to bottle.
The apples are harvested by variety on the 40-hectare estate.
Once harvested, they are sorted, washed and grated. Any apples showing defects are removed by human intervention.
Finally, the apples are pressed using a pneumatic membrane press in long cycles, allowing a slow pressing that gives the must exceptional aromas.
The must is then transferred to different vats to allow the cider to rest and ferment.
The ciders are then blended and bottled to ensure consistency of production throughout the year.
The apple juice is made in less than 24 hours. As soon as it is pressed, the apple juice is filtered, pasteurised and bottled hot to avoid any risk of fermentation.
When the harvest is abundant, the quantity of apples allows us to distil our cider in order to produce our calvados.
