Cidrerie Bréavoine
Producer of Cidre, 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 over 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 in the tasting room on the estate, where they are produced and transformed from apple to bottle.
Apples are harvested by variety on the 40-hectare estate.
Once harvested, they are sorted, washed and grated. Apples showing defects are removed by human intervention.
Finally, the apples are pressed using a pneumatic membrane press in long cycles, allowing for a slow pressing process that imparts exceptional aromas to the must.
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.
Apple juice, on the other hand, is made in less than 24 hours. As soon as it is pressed, the apple juice is filtered, pasteurized and bottled, hot, to avoid any risk of fermentation.
When the harvest is abundant, the quantity of apples allows us to distill our cider in order to produce our calvados.
