Authentic Normandy apples. Crisp refreshment. French cider at its finest.
Ecusson Brut is a classic dry cider from Normandy, the historic heartland of French cider making. Crafted using carefully selected cider apples grown in the orchards of northern France, it reflects generations of expertise and a deep respect for traditional production methods. Fresh, elegant, and naturally refreshing, it offers a sophisticated alternative to sweeter cider styles.
Unlike many modern ciders that prioritise sweetness, Ecusson Brut embraces balance and authenticity. A blend of bittersweet, bitter, and sharp cider apples creates remarkable depth, combining vibrant fruit character with gentle tannins and lively acidity. The result is a cider that is crisp and refreshing while retaining the complexity and structure that have made Normandy ciders renowned around the world.
Whether served as an aperitif or enjoyed alongside a meal, Ecusson Brut captures the essence of French conviviality. Its dry finish and refined apple character make it wonderfully versatile, pairing effortlessly with food while remaining refreshing enough to enjoy on its own. For cider lovers in Ireland, it's an opportunity to experience one of France's most iconic cider traditions in its purest form.
Why we love it:
Ecusson Brut is proof that cider can be every bit as elegant as wine or craft beer. Rather than relying on sweetness, it lets the quality of the apples speak for themselves, delivering freshness, complexity, and remarkable balance. It's a cider that feels equally at home at the dinner table or shared with friends, offering a genuine taste of Normandy with every glass.
