About This Cider
Ecusson Bio Cider Brut 75cl is an authentic organic French cider produced in Normandy, one of the world's most famous cider-making regions. Available for cider Ireland customers seeking premium European cider, this 5% organic brut cider combines fresh apple character, lively carbonation, refreshing acidity, and a clean dry finish. Those looking to explore quality cider from traditional producers can discover more favourites in our Craft Beer & Craft Cider collection.
Produced using organically grown apples, Ecusson Bio Cider Brut reflects both environmental responsibility and traditional cidermaking expertise. Normandy's climate and apple-growing heritage provide ideal conditions for producing cider with natural complexity, freshness, and balance. The result is a cider that remains true to its regional roots while offering broad appeal to modern cider drinkers.
The cider pours bright golden with lively effervescence and immediately showcases fresh orchard apple aromas. Notes of green apple, baked apple, floral hints, and subtle fruit sweetness create an inviting and elegant aroma profile.
On the palate, the apple character remains central. Fresh apple flavours are supported by gentle acidity and balanced fruit sweetness before leading into a crisp and refreshing dry finish. Unlike heavily sweetened commercial cider styles, Ecusson Bio Cider Brut focuses on showcasing the quality of the fruit itself.
The brut designation indicates a drier style, making it particularly appealing to drinkers who enjoy refreshing and food-friendly cider. The clean finish and moderate alcohol content make it suitable for a wide range of occasions, from casual drinking to formal dining.
The 75cl bottle format further enhances its versatility. Ideal for sharing, entertaining, celebrations, and meals, the larger bottle format reflects the traditional way many French ciders are enjoyed. It also makes an excellent alternative to wine for those seeking something refreshing and fruit-driven.
