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, 375ml corked. A clear one, golden in color and with some white bubbles around the rim. Quite farmhouse-ish nose with lots of apples. Tasteful, semi-dry and pleasant, medium body. Lots of apples and a solid dose of farmyard. Lasting apple finish. A tasteful one, although a bit too much on the woody, earthy and farmyardish side. 120623

Pours with a strong head that is harsh and bubbly and disappears very quickly in many loud noises. Bright yellow-green hue. Aroma of old 1950’s linoleum tile, fresh apples, dirty socks; like I just walked into an old farmer’s home to sit at the table and hear his story. I can smell his flannel shirt, the duck in the oven, the fresh vegetables. Taste is very earthy - fermented apple, cheese, sour apple skins. Wet finish. This is an exceptional cider, way outside the norm, but fascinating to taste. There’s something new in every sip.
