France is the largest cider producing country in the world. French cider is generally typified by an amber hue, a rich bittersweet character, and a low acid profile. The two main cider regions in France are Brittany and Normandy, with a few regional differences giving each its own unique identity.
Traditional cider, like those from Manoir du Kinkiz, from Brittany tends to be drier and higher in alcohol than those from Normandy and are cloudy, tannic and can have an earthy funkiness.
Cournouaille is a historical region on the west coast of Brittany, and the namesake of this delicious, slightly funky cider. Effervescent, complex, and with a lovely bittersweet finish. To the eye, it presents a golden-orange colour, with a complexity of fruity, floral and spicy aromas.
