The 2021 Cidrerie de Verzy Cidre is a traditionally crafted cider produced in Verzy, a Grand Cru village in the Montagne de Reims more commonly associated with Champagne. Created by the team behind Cidrerie de Verzy, this artisanal cider reflects the same attention to terroir, farming and craftsmanship that has made the region renowned for its wines.

Produced from carefully selected apples and fermented using traditional methods, the cider highlights the natural character of the fruit rather than sweetness or overt winemaking influence. The 2021 vintage benefited from favourable growing conditions, allowing the apples to develop both ripeness and aromatic complexity.

The cider opens with aromas of fresh apple, baked orchard fruit and citrus peel, accompanied by subtle floral notes and hints of spice. On the palate, it is vibrant and refreshing, balancing crisp acidity with gentle fruit richness. Fine bubbles provide texture and lift, while a dry, persistent finish showcases the purity of the fruit and the cider's terroir-driven style.

The 2021 Cidrerie de Verzy Cidre offers a more refined and gastronomic expression of cider, emphasising freshness, structure and complexity. Its balance and versatility make it suitable both as an aperitif and as a companion to a wide range of dishes.

This cider pairs particularly well with charcuterie, roast pork, poultry, soft cheeses, seafood and savoury tarts. Its bright acidity and moderate alcohol also make it an excellent alternative to sparkling wine in a dining setting.
