Brittany has been a traditional cider-making region for many centuries. The Fine Bretagne has been produced by farms since the 19th century, mainly for local consumption and by fishermen leaving Breton ports to seek cod off the coasts of Iceland and Newfoundland.
The harvesting of the apples, grown in the orchards of Gilles Leizour, or purchased directly from local producers, takes place between early September and late October. The apples arriving at the distillery go through a lengthy transformation process using traditional Breton methods, before the bottling of the final cider brandy.
A multiple award winner at the main French spirits competitions, our Fine Bretagne AOC Gilles Leizour and our Pommeau de Bretagne AOC subtly condense the distinctive character of the Breton terroir. With an elegant colour rich in fruity notes, the Fine Bretagne Gilles Leizour embodies all the know-how of a great lover of apples.
