All of the L’Authentique range of ciders are vegan, gluten free, contain no added water, no added yeast, no added sugar and fit perfectly into the ‘Better for You’ category. Vegan and Gluten Free Cider. L’Authentique ‘Brut’ cider is a contemporary cider produced in Brittany using traditional French methods. The cider is a blend of 18 different cider apple varieties which fall into acidic, sweet, bitter, sweet-bitter and ‘complete’ apple categories. L’Authentique ciders are made only using ‘cider apples’ many of which are exclusive to Northern France including: Dous Moën, Marie Ménard, Douce Coëtligne, Gros Bedan, Guillevic and Judeline. The apples are only collected once they have fallen off the tree as only then are they mature enough for pressing. L’Authentique Brut is a classic dry French cider with the natural aroma of ripe apples. Delicious notes of bittersweet apples upfront are followed by a balanced medium sweetness from the natural sugars of the apples and an exquisitely dry finish.
