Val de Rance - Brut Cider
Val de Rance Cidre Brut comes from Brittany – a region where cider has been as much a part of the table culture for centuries as wine is in Burgundy. Val de Rance uses Breton bitter apples, whose tannin structure and natural acidity give the cider its distinctive style.
In the glass, a clear, golden-orange color with fine bubbles. On the nose, ripe apples and a hint of quince, subtly bittersweet. On the palate, dry and balanced – the malic acid is present without being harsh, the finish fresh and slightly tart.
Serve well chilled: 6–8 °C , in a tall tumbler. Pairs well with galettes bretonnes, seared scallops, or mild goat cheese. Also a good choice as an aperitif before a fish meal.

Quick answers
How dry is the Val de Rance Cidre Brut really?
It is dry, but not bone-dry. The Breton bitter apples provide a natural tannin structure that makes the cider more balanced than many sweeter variants – the finish is fresh and slightly tart, not sugary.
What does the cider pair best with?
Classically with Galettes bretonnes or pan-seared scallops. It also works well with seafood, mild goat cheese, or a quiche. It is also a solid choice as an aperitif before a fish course.
At what temperature should I serve it?
Well chilled at 6–8 °C – i.e., straight from the fridge. It is best poured into a slim tumbler so that the fine perlage is preserved.
How much alcohol does the cider have?
The Val de Rance Cidre Brut has 3% ABV – which puts it significantly below a glass of wine and makes it an option for lighter occasions or as a lunchtime aperitif.
How long does an opened bottle last?
After opening, it is best to drink it within 1–2 days and store it in a cool place. Otherwise, the perlage will fade and the fresh aroma profile will flatten.
Can I also use the cider as a cocktail base?
Yes – its dry, slightly tart structure makes it a good base for simple long drinks, for example with a splash of lemon juice and fresh herbs. Sweet mixers, however, would mask its character.
The Producer
Val de Rance is the brand of the cooperative Les Celliers Associés, which was founded in 1953 by twelve apple farmers in the Rance Valley of Brittany – with the goal of joining forces and creating a real Breton cider.
Today, the cidery in Pleudihen-sur-Rance is one of the most important cider producers in France and is considered the most awarded cidery at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris.
What distinguishes the cooperative is its consistent signature: more than 99% pure apple juice, no additives, carefully selected old Breton apple varieties – monitored by Maître de Chai Alain Le Page from the first pressing to bottling. No wonder Val de Rance is at home in over 70 countries and countless Breton crêperies today.
