Arc-en-Vigne Cidre is the producer's standard, entry-level cider, made purely from Fuji apples grown in Nagano Prefecture. Crafted using the traditional method from Brittany, France, with secondary fermentation in the bottle, it is a bone-dry cider that showcases the pure character of Fuji apples without any blending or flavoring. At 8% ABV, it sits between the fruitier flavored ciders (Black Queen, apricot, yuzu) and the multi-varietal Cidre Sankyodai in the Arc-en-Vigne lineup, offering the cleanest, most straightforward expression of the producer's cider-making.
This is the benchmark bottling of the Arc-en-Vigne cider range — a clean, bone-dry Fuji apple cider that shows the producer's cider-making skill without any flavoring to hide behind.
