About Manoir du Kinkiz.

Manoir du Kinkiz is a cider and chouchen estate near Quimper in Finistère, run by Hervé Seznec. The domaine produces Cidre de Cornouaille AOC — one of France's two certified cider appellations — from local apple varieties including Guillevic and Douce Moen. Chouchen, a Breton mead made with apple juice and buckwheat honey, is also produced on the estate.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Manoir du Kinkiz

Brittany

The Kinkiz estate has been worked by the Seznec family for several generations, with orchards of heritage Breton apple varieties that produce lower-sugar fruit than their Norman counterparts. The Breton cider tradition uses colder fermentation temperatures, producing a drier and more mineral style than Norman cidres. Manoir du Kinkiz bottles pétillant and brut expressions, fermenting in stone cellars without added water, sugar or concentrates.
