CidrerieAuto-Cueillette Pommes
Cidre
Still cider
Once the juice is squeezed, it is put in fermentation vats during a few months. Then, the yeasts transform the juice’s sugar in alcohol.

Traditional method
Traditional cider is made by a second fermentation in bottle. The bottles are placed in a riddling rack and being slightly rotated following a precise movement. Then comes the disgorging step: the removal of the residue accumulated below the cork. A “liqueur d’expédition” (dosage) is added to fill in the emptiness that was created.

Petit Frisson Cidre de glace
Process 

The apples are selected, freshly picked and pressed just after the Fall harvest.  This cider is the product of a simple fermentation and an aging process in which the cider develops more depth.  It is called "strong" because its level of alcohol is higher than 8%.  This level of alcohol is reached by a short process of cryoconcentration in order to concentrate more the sugar from the apples must.  This traditional method still respects the old fashion ways and is passed down in the Petit's family for more than a century.
