If you have ever had the change to meet Guillaume Frénéhard you would understand where this bottle comes from. He is the definition of the great french expression “Joie de Vivre”. Behind the scene’s the 80x crew has had the opportunity for Gui to share many bottles of cider from his beloved home in Normandy. So, during the early days of the 80x Wine Company we decided we wanted to see if it was possible to bring a little taste of France to Ontario.
We connected with our friend Ryan Monkman of Fieldbird Cider in Prince Edward County. We took a base cider that was made with 40% Golden Russet, 30% Northern Spy, 15% Perry, and 15% Aromatic blend (only Ryan knows the secret blend). All the fruit is from Prince Edward County. We dosaged the bottles to get the secondary fermentation, and after 6 months we’ve got bubbles.
The name comes from the distinct funk that you get from delicious french cider, and while we weren’t able to completely recreate the process required to make cider in this style we believe we have paid an appropriate homage to the French.
All three of us are temendously proud of the blood, sweat, and tears that went into this bottle.
Santé!
