Welcome to our section dedicated to those who are curious about and passionate about organic cider! Find out everything there is to know about our unique cider-making process below.
What makes Juliet® apple cider unique?
Our cider is made from 100% organic Juliet apples, grown in an environmentally friendly manner without any chemical treatments. This gives our cider an authentic flavor and a distinctive character.
How do we select our apples for cider production?
Each apple is selected for its quality and optimal ripeness. We prioritize a respectful and sustainable approach, ensuring that our cider has an incomparable taste and impeccable quality.
What are the steps involved in making our cider?
Harvest and Selection: Special care is taken in hand-picking the apples, which are selected for their ripeness and quality. This step ensures the cider’s rich aroma.
Pressing: The selected apples are carefully pressed to extract their juice, capturing the pure essence and natural flavors of the fruit.
Fermentation: Apple juice undergoes natural fermentation, during which yeast converts sugars into alcohol, thereby creating the alcoholic base of the cider.
Aging: The cider is then left to age in barrels, a crucial step in enriching its bouquet and adding complexity to its aromas.
Bottling: Once it has matured, the cider is bottled, ready to be enjoyed. This final step preserves the quality and authenticity of the product.
Each of these steps in the cider-making process is essential to producing a premium-quality beverage that reflects Pomme Juliet’s commitment to excellence and tradition.
How do we ensure the quality of our cider?

Why choose organic cider?
Choosing organic cider means choosing a healthy, environmentally friendly product that supports sustainable farming practices. It also guarantees an authentic taste and a unique experience.
Where can you find our ciders?

What role does fermentation play in the cider-making process at Pomme Juliet®?
In our cider-making process, fermentation is crucial: it transforms the natural sugars in apples into alcohol, giving the cider its richness and depth. Juliet® organic brut cider (4.50%) undergoes a longer fermentation period in the tank compared to the demi-sec variety, giving it a less sweet and subtly more distinctive character.
How does aging affect the taste of our cider?
Aging in barrels allows the cider to develop a unique range of aromas. This maturation process helps achieve a balance between sweetness, acidity, and bitterness, enriching the character of our cider.
Why is it important to select high-quality apples for making cider?
The quality of the apples is essential to making exceptional cider. Healthy, ripe, organic fruit not only ensures the cider’s authentic flavor but also its purity, reflecting the very essence of Pomme Juliet®.
How does the biodiversity of our orchards enhance the flavor of our cider?
The biodiversity of our orchards plays a key role in the complexity of our ciders. It contributes to a balanced ecosystem, which is essential for growing healthy, flavorful apples and directly influences the quality of our cider.
How important are organic certifications in our cider-making process?
Organic certifications attest to our commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices. They guarantee that our cider is produced without chemical pesticides, preserving the purity and authenticity of our apples’ flavors.
