Nolwenn Merrien and Matthieu Huet run the Cidrerie de l'Apothicaire, located in Clohars-Carnoët in Southern Finistère, Brittany. These “local kids” had their first careers in healthcare, before founding their estate and setting up in earnest as cider makers in 2018. The choice of Clohars is not insignificant: the small town has a great terroir, historically recognized and renowned in Brittany for its ciders. L'Apothicaire started from scratch: the adventure began by gleaning and buying apples, before taking over 4 ha of old productive orchards, then planting 5 ha of local and ancient varieties. In addition to a fine range of ciders, the duo also produces eaux-de-vie (spirits) using an old column still. Their approach is deeply rooted in the terroir, while leaving plenty of room for creativity, to offer us original, delicate and above all delicious juices.
Careful this is an ultra addictive beverage: a hyper-aromatic, balanced, thirst-quenching and delicious juice.
Sulphites-free wine
The nose is complex, aromatic and very vinous, with white fruits and iodine. The palate is taut, carried by fine acidity, with a structured finish of fine bitters. Ideal in a blind tasting to surprise your friends, or just perfect paired with Asian cuisine.
Powerful, fresh nose with notes of apple, mirabelle plum and yellow plum. The palate is also structured around finesse and fruit, a beautiful success. An explosive and delicious pairing with smoked salmon served with cream and herbs.
Sulphites-free wine
Beautifully crisp, with aromatic sweetness balanced by a noble, very pleasant bitterness, featuring notes of candied fruit and hazelnut. Here are some fascinating pairing suggestions from the Cidrerie: spicy dishes, hard cheeses, chocolate desserts... the choice is yours!
Sulphites-free wine
Chuféré is a very specific Breton drink, still, whose tradition is being brought back to life by L’Apothicaire — and therefore we’re really happy to share it with you! Notes of apple, honey, greengage, raisin… A great festive drink to surprise your guests, with alcohol levels similar to wine, and a lovely pairing with aged hard cheeses.
