Sidre Brut - Château de Hauteville Eric Bordelet

Sidre Brut - Château de Hauteville Eric Bordelet  

Eric Bordelet's Sidre Brut is made from apple varieties from two hundred year old trees. First fermentation in concrete and wood. Naturally refermented in the bottle. Classic dry cider. It attacks softly but in an instant the freshness takes over.

Service

Cider should be served at a temperature between 6 and 12°C (A cider served too cold will not develop its aromas, a cider that is too hot is neither appreciable nor refreshing) in a tulip glass.

Pairing

A wine that can be tasted as an aperitif or paired with fish dishes, to try with a crab salad.

Winery: Château de Hauteville Eric Bordelet

A lifestyle choice: Ivo and Eva have moved to their new home in Sudkův Důl in the heart of Bohemia. And it is there that the dream and the agricultural project is formed, planting orchards, vegetable gardens, raising bees, sheep, ducks, chickens, carp and trout. The apple trees occupy about 2.5 hectares, are all indigenous Czech varieties, and are up to 80 years old. They are conducted without the use of synthetic chemical products, leaving nature to self-regulate. The production of cider, in turn, regulates itself in the same way: spontaneous fermentation in small wooden barrels, to which they assign names that will then correspond to the cuvée of that particular year. The cider once formed after fermentation remains in these barrels for 12 months, before bottling and the second fermentation in the bottle, without any addition or subsequent intervention. And from apples also vinegar: in the form we know, and with special recipes that Eva personally follows, with the addition of other natural ingredients collected in the company. He calls them "drinking vinegars", because they can be added to cocktails and other drinks, or used as a condiment or in cooking.
