Cidrerie de l'Apothicaire
Complex, structured, a cider with an assertive tannic character and a long finish with roasted, spicy notes. Nolwenn and Matthieu's food and cider pairing: spicy dishes, a beautiful smoked fish, or even grilled meats, yum!

Organically grown apples from Clohars-Carnoët orchards in southern Finistère, in Brittany. Native yeasts, fermentation in an old, re-heated barrel from a Normandy cooperage, aged for three months in this barrel, natural foaming. Bottled without fining or filtration, without pasteurization or any addition of sulfites. The barrel was originally bought for the eau de vie, but after tasting the barrel-aged cider, Nolwenn and Matthieu liked it so much that they continue to produce it every vintage!
Nolwenn Merrien et Matthieu Huet
Nolwenn Merrien and Matthieu Huet run the Cidrerie de l'Apothicaire, located in Clohars-Carnoët in Southern Finistère, Brittany. These “local kids” had their first careers in healthcare, before founding their estate and setting up in earnest as cider makers in 2018. The choice of Clohars is not insignificant: the small town has a great terroir, historically recognized and renowned in Brittany...
