Christian Drouin Cidre Brut Grande Cuvee 2013 was produced with 10 different varieties of apples : Mettais, Domaine, Fresquin, Binet Rouge, Rambau, Bedan, Saint Martin, Moulin à Vent, Clos Renau and Ameret.
<br/><br/>
This batch was produced with the idea of creating a cider with a real potential for ageing using a dominant of structuring apple varieties as well as acid apples.
<br/><br/>
After 3 years in our cellar, we now think this cider has a great complexity and balance. If stored in good conditions (under 13°C), 2013 Brut Cider will continue to develop further complexity in the bottle.
<br/><br/>
The apples have been stored about two weeks before pressing.
<br/><br/>
Fermentation was done under temperature control and with several rackings. After filtration, the cider was naturally refermented in the bottle.
