Description
Since 1955, Le Brun Bigoud cider house is renowned for its premium craft ciders. Based in Cornouaille (the first AOP cider area), we create artisan and farm ciders following the traditional way passed down from one generation to the next.

Our traditional corked ciders are all 100% pur juice, naturally sparkling and unpasteurized to preserve the fruity flavors.

Our apple expertise led us to develop apple juices. Still or sparkling our recipes are also 100% pur juice but to preserve the product longer those are pasteurised.

In 2021, Mr Le Brun set a new challenge for the company, developping a range of craft beers (Cornemuse and La Môme de Paris) that would match our passion for great beverages.

Bottle. Orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is floral, some apples, mild honey and a bit melon tones with some slight tannins and miinerals. Flavour is sweetish tart apples, some wooden tones with mild tartish tones. Nicely dry biting palate. A bit dried fruity sweetness in the finish. Interesting cider.

75cl bottle. Pours a clear, bright golden yellow, medium effervescence. Aroma is distinctly floral, with sweet apple fruit. Extremely floral sweet flavour profile compared to the le brun artisanal doux, perhaps a hint of elderflower, grape, sweet apple juice. Decent.

75 cl. bottle shared with Rick @ Rick. Clear light amber with a white frothy head. Cardamon aroma with some citrus as well. Sweet taste with a proper bitter finish. Cardamon is too pronounced but interesting as well.
