Chouchenn DRAGON - Exceptional Mead from Brittany
Discover the artisanal production of La Cave Du Dragon Rouge, a true Breton treasure: Chouchenn Dragon. This exceptional mead is crafted from carefully selected honeys and aged in oak barrels. Its complex aging process imbues it with a unique richness and depth, making it an ideal choice for an aperitif or to conclude a meal.
Chouchenn Dragon is a complex and rich blend of aged semi-sweet meads, resulting in an unforgettable tasting experience. It was awarded the Silver Medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris 2020 and the Silver Medal in the Best French Aperitif category at Miami 2019.
This Chouchenn also received the Silver Medal at the 8th Challenge of the Best French Wines, Spirits, and Beers for the USA in Miami 2019. These prestigious recognitions attest to the exceptional quality of this beverage.
The slow fermentation of Chouchenn Dragon lasts between 4 and 5 months, carried out directly in oak barrels. After this period, it rests on lees for long months, even years, allowing for the development of its unique aromas. This traditional production method guarantees a long-lasting mead that preserves its flavor qualities for many years. Over time, its taste evolves but always retains the distinctive signature of the Dragon.
