Florian Bourrienne


What mainly sets Florian Bourrienne apart from other cider producers is that he makes ciders for aging, intended to evolve over the years. His orchard is located in the heart of Calvados, in the Pays d'Auge region, but outside the AOC (Protected Designation of Origin) in order to preserve the freedom and uniqueness of his ciders. We can, without hesitation, call it natural cider, because the cider maker goes beyond organic to respect the traditional production method, which is delicate, patient, and requires a tremendous amount of work. From his fifteen-hectare orchard planted with tall stems, he produces ciders for aging, excellent to drink in their youth but sumptuous after several years. The blend is carefully measured according to the characteristics of each vintage. The fruit production is entirely organic and the fermentation processes—there are two for traditional cider—are slow and patient, so that the cider is made the right way, using natural yeasts. These are preserved in the cider thanks to a light filtration that respects all the living elements capable of polishing the taste and aromas, but also facilitates the formation of foam, which must be just right: neither too strong nor too weak. It's difficult to manage, but the result is well worth it. These are mastered ciders, eminently delicious, marked by an extraordinary sweetness and roundness of apple. Over time, they acquire notes of acidity and astringency that gracefully reinforce their beautiful aromatic palette. Ciders of taste and pleasure, as delicious at the table as they are as an aperitif.

This 2018 vintage is still a little young, but it is already delicious: drink it without regret now, but if you can afford to let it wait a few more years (at least three or four), you will appreciate it even more. The color is a beautiful, slightly coppery gold. With soft bubbles and a lemony nose, it offers a round and sweet mouthfeel, moderate acidity. It is a cider of pleasure and thirst that everyone agrees on.
