CIDRERIE KERLOÏCK: HEIRLOOM RECIPES<br />
Loïc Gouret and his wife Anita established their business<br />
in 1999 before being joined by their son Jean-Marie in<br />
2016. This Breton cider works farms 40 hectares of organic<br />
orchards. About fifteen varieties of apple trees are used<br />
to produce structured dry ciders showing intense aromas,<br />
as well as medium-dry and sweet ciders which display<br />
distinctive lightness and fruity flavours on the palate. “As<br />
an orchard owner and producer, we can control every<br />
stage of production”, stresses Jean-Marie Gouret. “All our<br />
farmhouse products, ciders, juices and spirits are made<br />
on our farm”. Exports account for 10% of volumes and<br />
are tending to grow due to the care taken across the<br />
different ranges.<br />
