The story of the Fournier family and cider began in 1943, in the southern part of Normandy, at the heart of the historic region of the Dukes of Alençon. Spanning three generations of uncompromised family lineage, the cidery distinguishes itself by working solely with traditional Normandy cider-apple varieties—the bittersweet and bittersharp styles—rather than standard dessert apples, prioritizing structural depth over high volume yields. Operating out of La Lacelle, France, the estate utilizes slow-fermentation methods to preserve maximal aromatics, capturing a crisp, clean style free from industrial farmyard funk. Today, Cidres Fournier stands as a celebrated international benchmark for traditional French pomology, fiercely loved by sommeliers and specialty importers worldwide.

Gourmet beverage enthusiasts and fine dining connoisseurs choose Fournier Doux Cider because it delivers an uncompromised level of authentic, old-world Norman craftsmanship that supermarket commercial ciders cannot replicate. By selecting heirloom fruit varieties for quality over yield and avoiding artificial flavorings or additives, the estate ensures a pure juice expression that reveals a highly concentrated, fruity character. Its crisp carbonation cuts through richness beautifully, making it an exquisite, lighter alternative to dessert wines. The sophisticated presentation brings a touch of classic French elegance to any table, functioning as an asset for e-commerce store listings or a highly thoughtful gift.
