Cidrerie de Verzy Cidre 2021

In 2020, a group of five friends who happen to be top grower-producers formed a project to produce cider together: Flavien Nowack of Champagne Nowack in Vandières, Adrien Renoir of his eponymous estate in the Grand Cru of Verzy, Bertrand Lapie, producer in Cuis, Antoine Bouvet, grower/producer in the Grand Cru village of Aÿ, and Quentin Paillard of Champagne Pierre Paillard. Together, they are very proud to introduce the Cidrerie de Verzy!

Following the principles of winemaking in their production, rather than traditional cider methods, they’re sourcing organic and biodynamic apples and pears from 30- to 250-year-old trees, both grown locally in Champagne and in Normandy.
