Victor Bouvy is the fourth generation to run his family\u2019s farm in Mont-Sur-Corville in the Vall\u00e9e de l\u2019Ardre in the heart of Champagne, tucked between the Montagne de Reims and the Marne Valley.<\/p>\n
In the early 2000s, Victor\u2019s father began successfully cultivating a vast array of new fruit varieties for simple table consumption, as the region\u2019s calcareous, silty-clay soils proved to be a perfect match for apples (and not just Pinot Meunier in the production of fine Champagne!)<\/p>\n
Victor wanted to take the family\u2019s commitment to apples a step further. With a degree in agricultural engineering and a passion for traditional dry cider, Victor traveled to Normandy to better learn the intricacies of cider production. Upon his return in 2019 he planted a new and complimentary mixture of apple varieties, ideal for cider production with the goal of creating a harmonious cider that would express an ideal balance of sweet, bitter and tart.<\/p>\n
Sustainability is of utmost importance to the family, and all their lands have been farmed organically since 2015. Bouvy Cidre combines eight different apple varieties, is pressed naturally and is never pasteurized.<\/p>\n
How did we discover a traditional cider producer in the middle of Champagne? Winemaker Francis Egly of Domaine Egly-Ouriet introduced us! Not only has Francis been teaching Victor all he knows about the art of fermentation, he\u2019s also soon to be his father-in-law \u2013 when Victor marries Francis Egly\u2019s daughter, Clemence.<\/p>\n

This dry, refreshing cider is the product of eight different apple varieties, grown on the limestone- and clay-rich soils in the heart of Champagne. Fermentation happens on indigenous yeasts in bottle and the cider is never pasteurized; flavors range delightfully from yellow apple to marigolds to crushed stones and sweet spice. Long, precise and dry, with fine bubbles.<\/p>\n
