Chouchen Marc'h, a great introduction to chouchen

Marc'h means "horse" in Breton. This medium-dry chouchen, made from a blend of wildflower honeys, is an ideal way into the world of craft chouchen.

18 months on lees, in barrels

Marc'h is fermented and aged on lees for at least 18 months, without changing barrels along the way, and is not blended. This barrel ageing gives it the fruity, slightly "green" taste that defines it.

A floral, fresh profile

It has a golden colour. On the palate, the attack is direct, then gives way to floral notes (acacia, lime blossom, meadow flowers) and a slightly tangy finish. It is 14% vol.

A chouchen for keeping

Like other slowly fermented chouchens, Marc'h keeps for a long time in the bottle.

Pairings and serving

Serve it chilled, at 6 to 8 °C (43-46 °F), as an aperitif, with seafood and oysters, or with cheese.
