This cidre from one of France best known cider producers opens with a modest head that moves aside to reveal a beautiful, rich golden color with the most lovely hint of orange. The nose possesses driving ripe apple aroma, notes of lemony goodness, and an intoxicating hint of roasted nuts. But it’s the palate that really sings. This cider delivers a medium body and a near perfect balanced of acid, sugar and tannin. The tannins are memorable a good minute after the first sip, but produce salivating, not puckering. I love the ripe, slightly sweet apple flavors in this cider. They are pure and piercing and delicate. Secondarily the citrus flavors support and lift up the ripe apple flavors. Finally, the finish is long and lasting. Use this cider at dinner, as a substitute for fine champagne or sparkling wine, or instead of water. Beautiful cider." (Le Cider Journal)
