Domaine des Cinq Autels

This Normandy cider is made from more than 15 varieties of apples planted on 9 hectares of land owned by Jean-Rene Pitrou. The varieties have been specially selected to give the optimum cider experience: 60–70% give bitter-sweet fruit, 15% are sharp and zesty and the remainder are what the producer describes as ‘tangy’. The estate has been organic since 1967.
