Cidres Polisson is the brainchild of Hugo Grenon, who is well-known in the world of wine and gastronomy in Quebec.
The cider comes from Oka, Quebec, and makes use of all that nature has to offer. Hugo, who is a geologist by training, also trained as a winemaker. His knowledge of the land is very deeply reflected in how he makes both ciders and wine.
All ciders are made using local fruits using the ancestral method, without adding yeast or other additions of oenological products. No sulfur was added or used during the manufacturing or bottling stages. All the steps after bottling (disgorging, leveling, capping, and bottling) are done by hand. The ciders are all vinified in the same way in order to find the taste characteristics of each apple used.
As with all our producers, we will be donating part of the proceeds from sales to a non-profit close to our hearts. For Cidres Polisson, we have chosen to donate to the Mustard Seed. Please check them out.
