French Sparkling Ciders
If you leave Paris for Normandy you will find a rich, rolling countryside with apple orchards and cider production. Moving on to Brittany you will encounter France's second largest cider producing region.
The Normandy region of France is home to one of America's best-loved international ciders. Duché de Longueville comes from a 50-year-old orchard near Dieppe, France where 15 carefully chosen apple varieties are used to produce this exquisite cider. Many of America's finest restaurants honor Duché de Longueville by offering it as the only non-alcoholic option on their wine lists. My favorite steak house will provide you with a bottle for $35. We offer it at a more reasonable price! KUDOS: "Cider vinegar dominates the aroma of this deeply golden, clean-filtered cider. The taste is pleasant and sweet . . . This cider from a 50-year-old orchard in Normandy is considered a classic." IMBIBE Magazine, September/October 2006 $12.95 | Blackcurrants are the king of the so-called "SuperFruits." They are amazingly healthy and loaded with phytonutrients. The fruit contains more antioxidants that most other fruits including pomegranate and blueberry, four times the Vitamin C of oranges, more potassium that bananas, plus calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium and more. This juice, bottled in France, combines blackcurrant with apple cider (which the French have perfected). You'll be surprised that healthful living could taste so good! Mushroom Cork with Wire Cage $11.95 | The French have done it again with the launch of Château Normandie Sparkling Apple Cider. Using centuries-old methods gives this cider a character and taste remarkably smooth to the palate. Savor it like a premium wine and you will discover that in France, excellence and tradition also come free of alcohol! KUDOS: "Drier and more complex than many alcohol-free sparkling ciders, Château Normandy is packed with Granny Smith apple tartness that's balanced by earthly hints of apple peel and subtle cinnamon . . . sip it alongside holiday favorites like oven-roasted turkey, root veggies, and pumpkin pie." IMBIBE Magazine, November/December 2009. Mushroom Cork with Wire Cage $12.95 |
