Emma After my visit to Brittany last year (click here to find out about Breton Whisky), I returned with a love for Breton Cider as well. It was completely different from the ultra-sweet fizzy flavoured ciders served in glasses filled with ice. This was back to basics, tasting like apple juice cider, the real deal. So, when Galipette Cidre asked me to try their cider, well I had to!

Galipette Cidre is a premium French cider made from organic apples and crafted in France’s Normandy and Brittany regions.
We had three ciders to try:-
- Galipette Rosé Cidre – made from rare red-flesh apples.
- Galipette Brut Cidre – the original cidre
- Galipette Biologique Cidre – made 100% from organic apples
On the nose, these ciders have a sweet fruit and definite apple aroma. Without the funk of a traditional English cider, this French cider has a pronounced apple taste and is without the excess gas noticeable in the current trend of popular UK ciders.
We enjoyed them all chilled, but they were even better after a few minutes in the sun to slightly warm to drinking temperature after being in a cold fridge.
The brand’s selection of artisan ciders is available online and in a range of premium supermarkets including Waitrose and Sainsburys.
