Description
Founded in 1924 by Pierre Saugrain, he produced the Vallée de la Seiche cider until his death in 1953. He was followed up by Maurice Lemoine. Lemoine introduced new products ('cidre brut' & 'cidre demi-sec') and started commercialising by introducing bottled ciders (75cl, 37,5cl and 25cl). In 1991 Michel Maman took over the company when Lemoine retreated. In 2001 the Maman company further expanded the portfolio with 'cidre fermier' using the fruit from an orchard in Côtes d’Armor à Kerpellen near the settlement Trévérec.
Today La Vallée de la Seiche is an innovative fruit product company with a wide range of innovative products, such as Cidre Rose - cider aromatised with roses, Ratapoire - a pear equivalent to Pommeau de Bretagne, etc.

Bottle pour. Clear golden, massive rose petals in the nose. Light sweet apples and floral rose notes. Lovely romantic picnic vibes. Moderate sweet and bitter, light tart. Medium body and soft carbonation. Fluffy soft feel. Lovely surprise to taste how well the rose aroma works. --- Beer merged from original tick of Cidre à La Rose on 04 Jun 2019 at 16:39 - Score: 8.

Bottle at home. Bit hazy dark golden with white head that actually lasts for a while. Medium sweet fresh apple, red apple, this has quite some ‘hand’ apple that can be eaten like this, but also some tart and bitter juice 🍎. Soft farmhouse funk, sweet pears, horse sweat, light grassy and some cinnamon. It’s solid medium sweet, light tart and bitter. Medium bodied, quite some carbonation and under medium dry. Very tasty, not too dry, actually it’s more on the sweet side but with plenty of farmhouse notes. Good!
