An asset for professional producers
A variety dedicated to high-end ciders
With its dark, structured juice, Muscadet de Dieppe is designed to produce fruity and balanced ciders, perfect for premium ranges. This unique taste profile makes it a popular choice for artisanal and industrial producers looking to stand out.
A quick transformation for optimal results
Due to its poor post-harvest shelf life, it is essential to process apples quickly to preserve their freshness and aromatic richness. This characteristic makes it a variety of choice for experienced and demanding growers.
Tips for optimal orchard management
Recommended cultural practices
- Cross-pollination: Combine Muscadet de Dieppe with compatible varieties such as Binet Rouge or Douce Moën to ensure optimal fruiting.
- Regular pruning: Promote even ventilation and sunlight by pruning lightly each year.
- Well-drained soil: Choose light, rich soils to avoid moisture-related problems, especially on sensitive rootstocks like MM 106.
