A cloudy, bottle-fermented vintage (this one 2001) cider. Lots of dregs. From a small artisanal producer near Honfleur in Normandie, who also makes calvados, pommeau and other apple related products. The cider is deliciously fruity, juicy and crisp, with spicy undertones. A good balance between the classy and the rustic. One of my favourite Norman ciders. Bottled (750ml)

Very little head, soft golden colour. Aroma of sour apples, lemon, very soft sour caramel. Taste is soft apples with a wet finish. Refreshing.

UPDATED: JUL 29, 2007 75 cl bottle at a restaurant in Ryes, Normandie, France. Deep yellow, a touch of green, hazy. Soft apple fruitiness, with yeasty and woody notes. Medium bodied with nice sparkling feeling. Very good balance, with a light sweetness, a firm acidity, and a discrete apple peel bitterness. A great cider.
