Description
Authentic French cider is one of the great undiscovered pleasures of the drinks world. Made the traditional way, fermented slowly in the bottle, and built from heirloom apple and pear varieties you'll never find in a supermarket, it bears almost no resemblance to the mass-produced ciders most Australians know. This bundle is your invitation to find out what you've been missing.
We've chosen six bottles that travel across the three great cider-making regions of France (Normandy, Brittany, and the Pays d'Auge) and span the full spectrum from delicately sweet to bone dry, with a beautifully aromatic pear cider thrown in for good measure. It's a "bit of this, a bit of that" pack, designed for sharing across an afternoon, exploring at your own pace, and finding the style that speaks to you.

Your six-bottle journey

A dry, artisanal cider from the heart of Normandy. Crisp, clean and food-friendly, and a gold-medal winner. The natural place to start if you lean towards dry wines or champagne.
The gentlest bottle in the pack. A delicate pear cider from Fournier, just 2% alcohol, softly sparkling and full of fresh orchard fruit. An easy introduction for anyone new to cider.
From Brittany, in the bitter-sweet style the region is famous for. Deep, complex, almost rustic, with the tannin and structure of a serious cider.
The pear cider in the line-up, from the Pays d'Auge in Normandy. Semi-dry, gently floral, more delicate than its apple cousins.
Made from biodynamically grown apples on the Groult family's 22-hectare orchard. Organic, expressive, beautifully made.
The dry, bottle-conditioned apple cider from Le Pere Jules in the Pays d'Auge. Crisp, structured and full of character, from one of Normandy's most respected cider and Calvados houses.
