What Galipette Cidre does
Galipette Cidre is a French producer of pure juice (pur jus) and non-alcoholic ciders, operating as a cooperative of apple growers headquartered in Plouër-sur-Rance, Brittany, and established as a brand in 2016. The portfolio comprises seven cuvées — Extra Brut (5.5% ABV), Brut (4.5% ABV), Biologique, 4.0% ABV organic, Rosé (4.0% ABV, red-fleshed apples), Doux (2.2% ABV, sweet), Non-Alc (0.0% ABV), and Rosé Non-Alc (0.3% ABV) — plus a curated Mix Case. Production uses the traditional French keeving process with wild yeast fermentation, with no concentrate, added water, or sugar; cider is bottled once annually from that year's harvest, making each release a vintage product. The supply base spans orchards in Brittany and Normandy, with named growers including Thibault (40 hectares at Pleurtuit on the River Rance), Jacques (100 hectares near Dinan, including a 131-variety heritage conservatory), and Melissa (26 hectares at Mont-Dol), giving the cooperative access to 200+ in-network apple varieties and 250+ varieties overall. Cellar Master Alain blends each cuvée from 10–20 of those varieties.
The company sells through a hybrid direct-to-consumer and wholesale model. E-commerce is operated via galipettecidre.com, with fulfillment through a German partner (Selection Prestige GmbH) and parcel shipping by UPS and DHL to Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom; free shipping applies on orders of 4+ cases. Pricing is unit-based at €26.95–€32.95 per case of 12 × 330ml bottles. Wholesale distribution is anchored by six UK supermarket chains (Sainsbury's, Tesco, Waitrose, Morrisons, Ocado, Whole Foods), three Nordic state alcohol monopolies (Alko in Finland, Systembolaget in Sweden, Vinmonopolet in Norway), specialty alcohol retailers (Total Wine & More in the USA, Urban Drinks in Europe), Amazon in multiple geographies, Monoprix in France, and additional retailers across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East.
Galipette has accumulated 28 industry awards or distinctions across the seven-cuvée range and positions on quality credentials including 100% French cider apples, pure juice, no added sugar, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly. Target segments are premium wine and beverage consumers seeking terroir-driven alternatives, specialty retail buyers, health-conscious and no-alcohol consumers, and organic/lifestyle buyers via the Biologique cuvée. Marketing is concentrated on the brand website, email newsletters through Mailchimp, and organic social (Instagram and Facebook); lead times are constrained by annual vintage production cycles, and headcount is reported at 1–10 employees.
