The Basque Cider “Basa Jaun” Brut by Domaine Bordatto is a traditional artisanal cider crafted in the heart of the French Basque Country using carefully selected local cider apples. Its brilliant golden color and naturally fine effervescence reflect the authenticity and character of this exceptional terroir. The nose opens with fresh aromas of crisp apple, orchard blossoms, and subtle herbal notes, complemented by delicate hints of citrus and wild flowers. On the palate, the cider is dry, lively, and beautifully balanced, combining vibrant acidity with pure apple flavors and a gentle tannic structure. A refreshing mineral edge adds depth and complexity, leading to a long, clean, and invigorating finish. Produced with respect for traditional Basque cider-making techniques, Basajaun Brut perfectly captures the freshness, elegance, and rustic charm of the region. Equally enjoyable as an aperitif or alongside seafood, grilled meats, cheeses, and Basque specialties, it offers an authentic taste of Basque craftsmanship in every glass.

Store bottles on their side
Storing bottles horizontally keeps the cork in constant contact with the wine, preventing it from drying out and ensuring a proper seal over time.
Keep in a cool, stable environment
A steady, cool temperature helps wines age gracefully. Avoid fluctuations, as they can disturb the wine’s balance and long-term quality.
Away from light and heat
Protect bottles from direct light and excessive warmth, both of which can accelerate aging and alter the wine’s aromas and structure.
