Apples

In in the heart of Cornouaille lies a little cidrerie, Melenig, owned by Christian Toullec and Christian Saccardy.

Toullec created Melenig in 2000 after a long career in agro-engineering, specializing in agronomy and pedology.

He was already passionate about cider thanks to his grandfather, who was an amateur producer. Combined with his growing fascination for the apple trees he encountered as an agronomist, he liked the thought of a career change.

Christian Saccardy also dreamed of a return to argiculture after 13 years in the chemical industry.

Enigmatic and wild. Words for the person as well as the wines Pierre Rousse makes in Western Languedoc! With his 5 ha of vines, Pierre plants seemingly standard varieties Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, although the results are anything but standard. Pierre also produces a cidre 'Babiole' from local apple varieties. Truly bonkers juice from a truly bonkers man.
