The Séhédic Domain : harvest and production in Brittany
At the Séhédic Domain, we focus on a daily basis on nature protection and respect of our wonderful Organic orchard. We are passionate also about the know-how we have received, developed and continue sharing generation after generation with our small team. The result is premium organic ciders, pure juice, unpasteurized, and naturally sparkling.
Cider maker since 1950 in South Brittany, we carry on a family heritage in our Finistère Terroir. By the way, did you know that “Finistère” in French means “fin de la terre”, the extremity of the earth!
Séhédic Domain : a producer committed to premium quality
All our ciders are organic, 100% pure juice, naturally sparkling and unpasteurized.
First things first, good cider starts in the orchard. Our orchard, about 20 acres, is on the outskirts of La Forêt-Fouesnant in the locality of Kertoban and counts 9000 apple trees, including more than 35 apple varieties. We have chosen a slow an lengthy fermentation process to develop the finest aromas : the Charmat method, also known as “cuve close” or tank fermented (like it is the case for Prosecco in Italy). This slow fermentation technique yields fine and subtle aromas and velvety thin natural bubbles.
In 2023, Hervé and Pamela Darondeau have taken over the operations of this family owned company and are keen to carry on the heritage the Séhédic family has created for the past 70 years. They are proud to continue offering incomparable premium organic ciders.
Ciders rewarded and recognized for their unique quality
The unique quality of the Séhédic ciders has been rewarded a number of times at the famous Concours Général Agricole de Paris these past 5 decades : 53 medals of which 22 were gold medals! The most recent gold medal was achieved in 2023.
