Chouchen Origine, an iconic Breton chouchen

Chouchen is the traditional mead of Brittany. In the Middle Ages, the lords of Brittany had their own mead makers. Today a few producers keep this tradition alive, and Chouchen Origine is one of its finest expressions: a cuvée that proudly claims its Breton and Celtic roots.

A sweet chouchen with a strong honey taste

Chouchen Origine is sweet, with a pronounced honey flavour that comes from a blend of selected honeys. A great chouchen, it will appeal both to connoisseurs and to those discovering this drink for the first time.

Chouchen or mead: what is the difference?

In the past, apple juice was sometimes added to chouchen. Since 1921, French law has reserved the name chouchen for mead made the traditional way: water and honey only. Chouchen Origine is one of them.
