Cidrerie du Vulcain Cidre Trois Pepins 2020

Pale gold. Possibly the most famous cider from Jacques Perritaz.

Springy, fresh and crunchy notes combined with an invigorating acidity, it’s a bit like the hallmark of Jacques ciders! Golden hue. Aromas of ripe apples and orchard blossoms. Medium-dry palate with apple, pear, and a subtle herbal complexity.

Only the best, undamaged fruit is mashed, pressed and coarsely filtered. During the fermentation stage, the must is poured into the sparkling wine bottles and corked. The fermentation produces carbonic acid and a little more alcohol, but the cider remains at around 5% vol and a slight residual sweetness. As a rule, they are not disgorged, hence the slight lees. This process is called Ptillant Naturel.

They are available in different cuves according to the varieties available and are always “pure juice”, fermented using indigenous yeasts, coarsely filtered and, depending on the cuve, with little or no sulphur added at the end.
