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.

75cl bottle shared with Soph in Eecke. Pours gold with a light mist, vibrant fleshy sweet fruit on the nose. Crisp palate, fresh and fruity brut character, a touch sour perhaps. Good.

Bottle gladly shared in Warsaw. Orangey pour with a small and almost flat white foam. Nose: mild wine cellar, apple skin and yeast. Mouth: frizzy and thin but with some character. Sparkling semi-dry with a firm fruitiness.
