A dry French cider from Romain Hénin, whose name you may already know from his Champagnes on our shelves. That alone is a good reason for a wine drinker to pay attention. It's bottled under the Korrigans label, named for the mischievous little spirits of Breton folklore, and the cuvée name, "Frères de Pomme," translates as "Apple Brothers." It's a playful pair of names for a bottle that doesn't take itself too seriously. The word that matters most here is dry: this is cider for anyone who's been put off by the sweet, juicy supermarket stuff, and an easy crossover for people who drink more wine than cider. Put it on the dinner table rather than saving it for dessert.

More about Romain Henin

Romain Henin makes Champagne the way the most radical natural winemakers make still wine: biodynamic vines, wild yeasts, a year in barrel, no added sulfur, and little or no dosage. It's a world away from the house style of most of his neighbors in Aÿ, and that was rather the point.

Henin comes from a Champagne growing family in Aÿ, on the Marne Valley's prime Pinot Noir slopes. After studying viticulture and oenology and working in the cellar at Champagne Henri Giraud, he joined the family estate, then left in 2015 over how the vines should be farmed. He started again from scratch in 2016 with about a hectare of rented vines, and in 2021 took over the family's roughly seven hectares around Aÿ and Mareuil-le-Port, which he now runs with his brother Thomas under the name La Bulle Libre, "the free bubble."

The farming is organic and biodynamic, with homemade plant preparations in place of chemicals and fruit trees planted among the vines for biodiversity. In the cellar, the grapes are hand-picked, fermented with native yeasts and aged on their lees in oak for a year, with no fining, filtration or sulfites. Expect Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier from clay-limestone soils, mostly bottled bone dry. There's also a side project worth a look: Korrigans, a cider.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Buckwheat galettes with ham, egg and Gruyère; a wedge of Camembert or Pont-l'Évêque; pork rillettes on toast; roast pork loin with apples; moules marinières.

Tasting Profile

A dry cider with apple at its core. Expect the fruit without the sugary sweetness of mass-market ciders.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
