Cidrerie du Leguer
Cidrerie du Leguer is a specialist Breton craft cider maker.
They are a small family farm with just 6ha of apples. The orchards are managed according to the rules of organic agriculture – activity is mainly limited to mowing the grass and pruning branches.
Each orchard is harvested, by hand, three times from October to December – everything is done by themselves. The apples are then left to further ripen for 3 to 4 weeks before grating and shredding and being gently pressed for about 3 hours. There is a long fermentation process, with the 1st fermentation in the cuvée lasting 5 months before bottling in spring, followed by a 2nd fermentation in the bottle (3 months).
All their ciders are brut or extra brut. No sulfites are added; the cider is made from pure juice, naturally sparkling with a secondary fermentation in the bottles, only racking and filtering when required.
