Je dis Aime 2024, Cider Extra Brut

Winery:   Marie-Lou & Max
Region:   Beaufort, Savoie 
Fruit:        Apples
Abv:         7,5%
Vintage: 2024
Organic and biodynamic cultivation
 
Cider is based on a blend of different varieties :
- 60% of “Croejons” (Wild variety, malus siervesi)
- 30% of “la Mâle” (Only found in Tarentaise Valley)
- 10% different eating apple varieties (Kerina,
Booskop, Reinette...)
 
Apples are crushed then pressed with Jacquère marc, in
Novembre. Fermentation starts in stainless steel to carry
out two racking, and slow down the yeast.
In December, the juice is transferred in Amphora to finish
its fermentation for 5 chilled months.
 
2025 springs will awaken the last yeast, and we will use this
dynamic to make the second fermentation. Since the cider
is almost dry already, we had to add 7 grammes of
sugar/liter to be able to get 3 bars of bubble pressure, in
the bottle. Bottling happened in the next two days, the 1st
of may.
No filtering, no addition (except for the sugar).
