This artisan cider is born from apples grown on the granitic soils of Brittany’s Côtes d’Armor — a place where granite bedrock and sandy, silty topsoils give this cider a distinct sense of place. The apples are grown organically, gently hand-harvested three times between October and December, then pressed and left to ferment slowly with native yeasts. After a long first ferment in tank (about five months), it’s bottled in spring for a natural second fermentation, resulting in a lively, naturally sparkling Brut cider with no added sulfites and minimal filtering.
In the glass, Granit is round, generous, and fruit-driven, reflecting a thoughtful blend of bitter, bitter-sweet, sweet, and sharp apple varieties for depth and complexity. Aromas and flavors lean toward fresh apple fruitiness with subtle tannins and a gentle grip, framed by crisp acidity and a clean, dry finish — a profile that’s both refreshing and approachable without bitter edges.
Try it with assertive cheeses like Camembert or Gruyère, roast pork with apples, or enjoy with the classic pairing of a hearty Breton buckwheat galette (a savory crêpe)!
