Extra Brut French craft cider created in Beaune, Burgundy from the blend of dozens of apples varietals hailing from Burgundy, Normandy, Brittany and Pays d’Othe.
Fermented (indigenous yeasts) and aged several months in a wide range of white and red wine barrels : Aligoté, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon.
Natural second fermentation in bottle (Champagne method)
Méthode champenoise is achieved using no cane or other processed sugar. Ciders are aged in still form for a full year in barrel. During the following harvest, unfermented apple juice is added to raise sugar levels, which then ferments in bottle to create the fine bead of carbonation.
