Description
Fondés par la famille Seznec et dirigés aujourd'hui par Hervé Seznec, la Cidrerie Manoir du Kinkiz et la Distillerie artisanale du Plessis composent un domaine d'exception reconnue en Bretagne et au-delà.

Son père, Pierre Seznec, se battait déjà depuis 1980 pour la sauvegarde d’un terroir et d’un savoir-faire. Sous son impulsion sera créé le CIDREF, le Comité Cidricole de Développement et de Recherche Fouesnantais et Finistérien. Des Appellations d'Origine Contrôlée seront ensuite obtenus dès 1996 pour l’AOP Cornouaille, 1997 pour le Pommeau de Bretagne AOC et enfin 2016 pour les Eaux de Vie de cidre, Lambig ou Fine Bretagne AOC.

Aujourd’hui Hervé Seznec décide de continuer la sauvegarde des anciennes variétés de pommier et de les replanter. Il souhaite que son travail continue dans la tradition et que ses produits soient le reflet de son terroir.

Bottle shared on 40th birthday, in the sun, on the roof. Clear yellow with white bubbly head. Sweet and tart apple, icy and fresh, light lemony, some soft green herbal leafy touch, a bit of white wine, wood and tannins. Medium sweet and tart. Medium body. Some light oily feel with fine fizzy carbonation. Very nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of La Cuvée Blanche on 07 May 2020 at 19:04 - Score: 8.

750mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a medium, quickly-dissipating white head. Aroma reveals a wonderful barnyard funk character, bone dry apple skins, leather, and horse blanket. Flavour is sweet yet dry, with loads of barnyard funk, horse blanket, apple skins, and leather. There's a wonderful champagne-like effervescence. Complex. Quite the treat.

Bottle shared at home. Loud pop. Unclear golden with white head. Mossy moldy musty apples, apple peels, apple stems, moist stone, juicy first but thin and dry finish. Medium body and lots of carbonation. --- Beer merged from original tick of Cornouaille on 08 Jul 2019 at 10:28 - Score: 7

Bottle shared at home. Loud pop, mist leaking from the bottle. God I love that. Pours loud fizzing slightly unclear golden cider with lots of fine bubbling going on. After a good few minutes the bubbling calms down and leaves a white ring head. Greasy, cheesy and sweaty smell. Old gone brown apples, wet oak wood, mold, moss, pig’s grease and chorizo, goats in the barn, funky smoky parmesan, applesauce, rust and tannins. Moderate sweet and bitter, some greasy sickliness, nuttiness and a strong dry bitter finish with crisp tart edges. Medium body and some spritzy carbonation. Yes I like ‘em like this. --- Beer merged from original tick of Cidre De Fouesnant on 07 May 2019 at 23:17 - Score: 8.
