Val de Rance - French Cider Brut - 0.33L
Val de Rance comes from Brittany, where cider has been part of the culinary culture for centuries – not a trendy drink, but a regional craft. The Brut version has a clear, orange-gold color and smells of ripe, slightly bittersweet apples.
On the palate, it is dry, crisp, and fresh – with lively bubbles and a clean, apple-fruity finish without sweetness. Typical of Breton cider: low alcohol, lots of character.
Serving temperature 6–8 °C, ideally in a cider glass or wide white wine glass. Classically served with Galette Bretonne with cheese or smoked salmon – but also delicious on its own as a light alternative to sparkling wine aperitif.

Quick answers
How dry is the Val de Rance Brut really?
Very dry – no comparison to sweet supermarket ciders. The Brut version has a clear, crisp apple character without residual sugar, but with lively perlage and a clean, fresh finish.
What does cider pair best with?
Classically with galette bretonne, smoked salmon, or seafood. It also works well with quiche, grilled fish, or Asian dishes – the dryness cuts through fat and spice.
Can I serve it as an aperitif?
Yes, that is one of its strongest uses. At only 4.5% ABV, it is lighter than sparkling wine, yet aromatic enough to stand on its own – served well-chilled in a wide white wine glass or cider mug.
At what temperature should I serve it?
Ideally at 8–10 °C. Warmer, the perlage loses its liveliness; colder, it dampens the apple aroma. Place in the fridge shortly before serving – or 20 minutes in ice water.
How long does the 0.33-l bottle last after opening?
The small bottle is designed for a single drinking moment – once opened, it is best to finish it immediately. Cider quickly loses carbonation and freshness after opening.
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.
