Julien Frémont Cidre Silex

Julien Frémont Cidre Silex is a natural, terroir-driven cider from Normandy, made using traditional methods. The name "Silex" refers to the flinty soil in the orchard, which gives the cider a distinct mineral edge. It is produced from heirloom apple varieties, fermented with wild yeasts, and aged in oak barrels, often previously used for Calvados. The result is a dry, complex cider with fine bubbles, vibrant acidity, and layered flavors of ripe apple, citrus, earth, and subtle smokiness. There’s a slight oxidative note, adding depth and a nod to natural winemaking. With no sulfites or filtration, it has a raw, expressive character that evolves beautifully in the glass. Ideal for those who appreciate farmhouse ciders with a mineral backbone and a structured, vinous quality.
