Pommeau Gift Box (4 or 6 bottle bundle)
Pommeau Gift Box (4 or 6 bottle bundle)
The perfect bundle of dessert and aperitif ciders for holiday gatherings or cozy nights in sipping by the fire. Makes for a great gift for pommeau and sweet cider fans. This bundle includes pommeau from France, where pommeau originates, and from various corners of the U.S.
4-Bottle Bundle Includes*:
- Le Père Jules (France), Pommeau de Normandie (750 mL) - A delicious aperitif wine made by mixing 2/3 fresh apple cider and 1/3 one-year-old Calvados (apple brandy, in this case made from a blend of Normandie AOC Calvados) then aging for several years in oak barrels.
- South Hill Cider (NY), Pommeau (375 mL) - Made from a blend of heirloom and bittersweet apples, blended with custom-distilled barrel-aged apple brandy. Aged in neutral oak using a Solera method so each bottling is a blend going back to 2014.
- Presque Isle Farm Cider (MI), Harrison Pommeau Pommeau (375 mL) - A single-varietal pommeau made by blending fresh Harrison apple juice with apple brandy and aging it in oak barrels for a prolonged period of time. Dion from PIF cider bottles their pommeau as necessary, so the pommeau will continue to rest in oak and oxidize slightly over time until it's bottled. This bottling was done in April 2025 - and it's tasting absolutely perfect.
- Shawnee Hill Farm (WA), Pommeau (375 ML) - Made from estate grown apples, blended with apple brandy distilled on the farm. Apple juice was fermented to cider and distilled, then blended with fresh apple juice - all from fruit grown on Shawnee Hill's estate on Vashon Island.
6-Bottle Bundle Includes all the Above, Plus*:
- Eve's Cidery (NY), Two-Year Pommeau (375 mL) - Made from apple spirits distilled from a blend or estate apples and foraged apples. Half of the spirits were aged and the other half were blended with cyroconcentrated apple juice extracted during Eve's Ice Cider making process before aging. After two years, the two barrels were blended along with some cider lees from the 2019 vintage.
- Snowdrift Cider (WA), Red Flesh Pommeau (375 mL) - Made from a blend of red flesh apple varieties, which yield bright flavors of berries and melon that burst through a delicious jammy sweetness. Snowdrift's pommeau process is unique in two ways: 1) they allow the fresh juice to briefly ferment, which reduces some of the sweetness relative to a lot of pommeau products, and 2) they use a neutral apple eau de vi (freshly distilled apple spirit), whereas most pommeau is made with an apple brandy (which is the eau de vi after it's aged in barrels for considerable amount of time). The end result is a pommeau that is slightly less sweet and less barrel-forward relative to most other pommeaus.

About Pommeau:
Pommeau is a traditional French apple mistelle, made by blending unfermented apple cider with apple brandy. The mixture is aged in oak barrels, typically for at least 1-3 years and often longer. The high percentage of alcohol from the apple brandy prevents the fresh juice from fermenting. The prolonged aging results in a rich melding of flavors from the juice, brandy, and barrel that is intense yet smooth and delicious.

Pommeau is best served as an aperitif or with dessert. We suggest serving each of these lightly chilled in small glasses, 1-2 ounces per serving. It pairs wonderfully with cheese, chocolate, apple pie, or sipped slowly on its own.
