Cider

Q: What distinguishes Cidre Brut from Cidre Doux?

Cidre Brut is dry and tart, with distinct apple fruit and lively effervescence — ideal with savory dishes or cheese. Cidre Doux remains fruitier and lower in alcohol, pairing well with desserts or as a light summer drink. In between lies the Demi-Sec as a balanced middle ground.

Q: How do you serve cider correctly?

Chilled at 8–10 °C, in a bulbous glass that holds the effervescence. Traditionally, it is drunk in Brittany from a ceramic bowl (bolée) — but that is not a must.

Cidre is the most uncomplicated pleasure in our range: sparkling apple wine from Brittany, traditionally fermented and without additives. Val de Rance has been pressing regional apples there for generations – with only 2 to 5% alcohol, it becomes a drink that is lighter than wine and finer than beer.

Whether tart-dry Brut, fruit-sweet Doux or the balanced Demi-Sec – well-chilled, Cidre goes just as well with Breton galettes as it does with cheese, grilled food or simply on the terrace. Browse through our selection and find your style.

Frequently asked questions

What distinguishes Cidre Brut from Cidre Doux?

Cidre Brut is dry and tart, with distinct apple fruit and lively effervescence — ideal with savory dishes or cheese. Cidre Doux remains fruitier and lower in alcohol, pairing well with desserts or as a light summer drink. In between lies the Demi-Sec as a balanced middle ground.

What does cider pair with best?

In Brittany, it is classically drunk with galette — the savory buckwheat crêpe. However, it works just as well with seafood, grilled meat, or aged cheese. Well-chilled on the terrace, it needs no accompaniment at all.

How do you serve cider correctly?

Chilled at 8–10 °C, in a bulbous glass that holds the effervescence. Traditionally, it is drunk in Brittany from a ceramic bowl (bolée) — but that is not a must.

What is the difference between Cidre, Cider, and Apfelwein?

All three are made from fermented apple juice. French Cidre is finely sparkling, fruit-forward, and low in alcohol (2–5%). English cider is usually stiller and more robust; Hessian Apfelwein is dry and still. Our assortment focuses on the Breton style.

How long does cider keep and does it have to be stored in the refrigerator?

Unopened, cider keeps easily in a cool, dark place until the printed best-before date. After opening, you should keep it in the refrigerator and drink it within one to two days so that the effervescence and freshness are preserved.

Is cider an alternative to wine or beer?

With 2–5% alcohol, it is significantly lower than most wines and lighter than many beers. It pairs with similar occasions as a dry white wine — table, terrace, cheese platter — without the heaviness. For wine lovers, the Brut style is the most obvious entry point.

Buy cider – apple sparkling wine from Brittany

Our cider comes directly from the home of the genre: Val de Rance has been pressing regional apples in Brittany for generations to create characterful cider — traditionally fermented, without additives. With 2 to 5% alcohol and prices from €2.95 to €8.99, cider is the most uncomplicated pleasure in our range.

Brut or Doux – which cider suits you?

Cidre Brut is tart and dry, with ripe apple fruit and fine perlage — the choice for savory dishes and for those who prefer it less sweet. Cidre Doux remains milder and fruitier, with less alcohol — perfect as a light summer drink or for dessert. In between lies the balanced Demi-Sec.

What does cider go with?

In Brittany, cider is classically drunk with galettes (savory buckwheat crêpes) — but it also goes just as well with cheese, grilled food, seafood, or simply well-chilled on the terrace. The low alcohol content makes it a relaxed alternative to wine and beer.
