Enjoy Le Mousseux, the sophisticated flavor of a blend of several Virginia apple varieties combined to produce a distinctive gourmet Virginia Sparkling Apple Cider - a non-alcoholic bubbly, perfect for weddings, parties, family celebrations, festivities of any type.
Le Mousseux, a gourmet Virginia effervescent Apple Cider from La Provençale Cellars, is the natural, unfermented juice of a hand-selected blend of apples. The apples grow in the northwest part of the Commonwealth—Virginia’s apple country.
The secret cuvee, a blend of several apple varieties chosen for flavor, acidity and aroma, includes Macintosh for sweet fruit flavor, Jonathan for aromatic intensity, and Granny Smith for high acidity. Le Mousseux, a Gourmet Virginia Sparkling Apple Cider, roughly translates as The Bubbles.
Tom Rodriguez was convinced that Virginia apples could produce sparkling apple ciders as fruity and complex as the ones he had enjoyed in Normandy and Brittany. After retirement from an international champagne, wine and spirits house, he designed a business to market the effervescent apple cider he remembered.
His background expertise in champagne and sparkling wine led him to consider the high acid level of eastern apple production - that same level of acidity being one of the factors that make good sparkling wines. His proprietary cuvee of several orchard varietals was unfused with bubbles to create Le Mousseux, a gourmet sparkling apple cider, a non-alcoholic festive favorite.
