Cidrerie de Verzy’s “Cidre Sec” 2021 is a beautifully crafted dry cider that reflects the rich terroir of the Champagne region. Produced with traditional apple varieties grown in Verzy, this cider is fermented naturally to emphasize the orchard’s unique character and the fresh, crisp qualities of each apple. With minimal intervention, “Cidre Sec” retains the pure expression of the fruit and the terroir, presenting a refreshing, refined style.

On the nose, this cider offers inviting aromas of fresh apple, white blossoms, and a hint of earthy spice, evoking a sense of place and seasonality. The palate is crisp and lively, with flavors of tart green apple, a touch of citrus, and subtle notes of stone fruit. Its dry profile is balanced by a natural acidity, creating a clean, refreshing finish with a slight hint of minerality.

Perfect as an aperitif, “Cidre Sec” pairs well with a range of dishes, from charcuterie and cheeses to savory crêpes or seafood. The 2021 vintage highlights the cider’s bright, energetic character, making it a delightful choice for those who appreciate artisanal, terroir-driven beverages with a Champagne influence.
