Binet Rouge Cider Juice

A Norman French Bittersweet of Real Distinction, Pressed and Ready

Binet Rouge is a traditional Norman cider apple with deep roots in the French cidre tradition. A bittersweet of genuine character, it produces a juice that is rich in tannin, low in acidity, and high in sugar — the hallmarks of the great Norman varieties that have defined French cidre for centuries. In the glass, it contributes warmth, body, and a subtle earthiness that speaks directly to its terroir. Whether used as a single varietal or as the backbone of a Norman-style blend, Binet Rouge brings Old World depth to every fermentation.

Pressed at The Orchard Point Prim and immediately quick frozen in 10L aseptic tetra-bags, every bag captures the variety at its peak. Our test batches confirm the juice can be used up to 12 months after its press date with no degradation in flavour — ferment it now or hold it until your next batch is ready.
