L’adage du patriarche résume toute la philosophie du savoir-faire Kerisac : des variétés de pommes issues du terroir breton sélectionnées avec rigueur et un soin particulier est accordé à l’assemblage des jus ; d’où le slogan de l’entreprise, “Des pommes et du talent”.
C’est cette conjugaison tradition, qualité et modernité qui fait son excellente réputation au niveau national, mais également sur la scène internationale depuis déjà une quinzaine d’années. Kerisac est donc reconnu par ses clients pour sa constance dans la qualité, la fraîcheur de ses cidres ainsi que pour leur saveur particulière. Si aujourd’hui Kerisac est la marque régionale préférée des consommateurs de cidres du Grand Ouest, c’est avant tout grâce à la rondeur de ses jus, au doré de leurs robes et la pointe d’acidité rafraîchissante en bouche.
En près d’un siècle, le petit Poucet est devenu grand et les fondateurs, fidèles à leurs origines, ont poussé les murs. Kerisac emploie aujourd’hui 40 salariés et 10 saisonniers. Son chiffre d’affaires atteint les 10 millions d’euros. En 2013, l’entreprise a investi dans un nouveau bâtiment de 600 m2 qui lui permet le maintien des jus au froid et assure une qualité constante d’assemblage.
En 2015, dans le but de réduire notre empreinte carbone, nous avons acheté l'ancien restaurant le Gué du Roy et son parking qui jouxtaient notre usine. Ainsi en bâtissant une nouvelle plate-forme de 1000 m2 et un entrepôt d'une capacité de stockage d'environ 800 palettes nous avons supprimé complètement nos transferts de productions vers des stockages extérieurs.
Kerisac investit pour la sauvegarde de notre planète !!

06/06 0.75 l bottle courtesy of Marko I guess, or from our joined trip to Graz, thanks for sharing anyway! It poured copper body with tiny head that lived for quite long time! A bit rotten apples in aroma, cork, apple juice, not bad actually. Sweetish apple flavor, might be a bit too sweet for a brut, though not too much, pretty full bodied with tingling astringent, but also sweetish finish. Not a bad cider, but just average for French standards.

As Kerisac Cidre Breton Brut Cuvée Réservée (4.5%), purchased somewhere in Graz, Austria. Poured a full golden body with no head. Sweet apple juice nose, slightly corky. Slightly gluey sweetish appley taste, a bit tangy/acidic. Ok, very light acidic aftertaste. Not bad, not crazy good.

Bottle at home. Pours clear, bubbly gold with a soft, white head. Rich, semi-ripe apple nose with some caramel and mild funk. Light to medium sweet, dry with fresh apples, light sweat, dank must. Light to medium in body and well carbonated. Crisp, faintly dry finish, not too sweet with more fresh, sweaty apples. Very good cider.

Found at a Casino supermarket on the outskirts of Île-de-France. always some French cider poking its nose out from somewhere, it will be impossible to try all of them... but anyways, pours well with a slightly cloudy gold-yellow colour and just a modest amount of head that dissipates in about a minute. Aroma is sweet apples, slight pear hints. Taste is a subdued sweet apple. Dry finish. Pretty good for a 2% cider.

Bottle from Carringtons, Chorlton, Drunk at home watching the Masters. Dark orangey gold colour, slight haze. Woody, sweetish apple nose. Nice softish sweet flavour with great quality apple notes ; all pretty well balanced with a moderate dryness. Am a fan of cider like this.

Corked bottle at Crêperie Le Petit Morbihan, rue Odessa, Paris, 2% ABV
Light blond color, no head. Light aroma of pears. Weak body, average pear juice flavor, with a good share of acidity; quite balanced and enjoyable, yet simple.

Draught at Crêperie Le Petit Morbihan, rue Odessa, paris
Golden color. Fizzy apple juice, semi-dry,with light lemon sourness, very light vinegar; it’s not a special cider, but the final is even a bit weaker.
