Cidrerie Les Pentes

Julien and Aurélien, cider makers of the Bauges

Welcome to Arith, in the Bauges massif, where Julien Savaux and Aurélien Bouzac make their ciders and perries from different varieties of Savoyard fruit. Formerly in logistics and marketing, they trained in Normandy, at one of the few schools specialising in cider production, before starting out in 2020.
Their ambition: to revive the tradition of craft cider in Savoie, with 100% pure juice and no additives.

From forgotten orchards to the bottle

Julien and Aurélien roam the Alps in search of fruit from orchards that are often abandoned or no longer harvested. A real commitment to preserving this mountain fruit heritage.
In the cellar, no artifice: fermentation with native yeasts, natural carbonation, and no added sulphur or carbon dioxide. Forget the cider-and-crêpes image (even if that is still delicious): here you will discover ciders of great precision, fresh and vintage-dated.

The ciders and perries of Cidrerie Les Pentes

Beau Jus is the ideal way into the range: a pure cider from the Bauges, all freshness and lightness. Your best friend this summer.
Le Goût du Risque comes from a single apple variety picked fully ripe: a dry, generous cider with a light oxidative profile that adds complexity and freshness. A safe bet, in 33 cl as well as 75 cl.
On the pear side, Mister T is a single-variety perry, tangy, lively and mineral, as good as an aperitif as with dessert. Poirasol is a complex, delicate perry with very elegant bubbles that pairs beautifully with fine food (try it with chocolate!).
Over the seasons we have also loved Chat au plafond, Bulle Blizzard, L’Amour du risque, Bien Élevé and Loup Blond. Unmissable!
