Cidrerie de Reillon

The cider house was created in 2020 in Lorraine in the village of Reillon by Grégoire.

Initially, production was ensured by gleaning fruit from traditional untreated orchards in the region, which is now supplemented by 6 hectares of orchards, including 4.5 hectares of new high-stem plantations. The plots are currently cultivated organically or in the process of being converted to organic farming.

The apples from the Lorraine region are tangy, which produces ciders that tend towards freshness.

In addition, other local fruits are used to create numerous vintages: pear, quince, mirabelle plum, cherry, plum, etc.

All harvesting is done by hand.
The juices from the pome fruits are extracted with a packet press and the other fruits are used in maceration.

All fermentations are done on wild yeasts.

In order to slow down fermentation and ensure stable foam formation in bottles, the ciders are racked several times or coarsely filtered.

No additives or sulfites are used.
