Cidre bouché, or literally 'cider with a cork' is a 100% pure apple juice cider, that undergoes two special processes during its making which see it become wholly unique to what we would consider as conventional English Cider.
These are full 'maceration' of the juice prior to pressing 'keeving' which involves the removal of bitter tannins so that only the purest juice is fermented. The still cider is placed in a corked champagne style bottle where rapid second fermentation occurs giving Cidre Bouch' a vibrant natural sparkle.
Furthermore, throughout the process no concentrated juice or water is added; the result is a golden, full bodied Cidre that is literally bursting with the tastes and aromas of the late summer orchard.
