By order of Emperor Charlemagne, the farmers of 9th century France planted apple orchards throughout what was soon to become Normandy. The Romilly farm was then founded and began a thousand year tradition of producing artisanal ciders with the complexity of a fine Bordeaux, the elegance of champagne and the refreshment of a beer.  Relying on 25 varieties of heritage apples, ancient farming methods and fine French culinary techniques, the cidre you hold in your hands is a masterpiece of the cidermakers’ art.  This is true hand-crafted cidre without additives (not even water!) gently effervescent from wild Norman yeasts and skilled aging.  We are proud to bring it from the fog-shrouded cliffs of the Normandie coast to America.  Drink history!
