750ml champagne corked bottle. The cork flew without any prompting, but the contents of the bottle were well behaved. A hazy unpasteurised bottle-fermented dry cider from a medium sized outfit which has been producing since 1926 in Cahagnes, in the Calvados region of Normandy. The aroma, whilst fruity, is also musky and a little earthy, a little reminiscent of scrumpy. The palate is clean, crisp and quite uncompromisingly dry until just a smidgen of juicy sweet fruit appears near the end. A quite pleasant cider, but not as succulent as some.
