~ Oregon grown bittersweet heirloom apples
~ Old-world keeving method
~ Aged in French oak casks
Inspired by the bittersweet ciders of France, Cidre Bouché is made using an old-world process called keeving. Starting with 100% traditional cider varieties like Kingston Black, Michelin, Reine des Pommes, Dabinett and Muscat de Lense, we let the fruit ‘sweat’ and intensify in aroma. The apples are crushed and left to soak on the skins before the juice is fermented slowly over the course of a year, and aged in French oak casks. When finished, this keeved cider is rich, thick, and brimming with overripe bittersweet apple character.

Keeved cider. $12 375 at bottlecraft north park.
Stemless wine glass back at the hotel after dinner with the wife.
Gorgeous, see through copper pour, quick soda head.
Earthy, macerated, honey-apple sweet nose.
Bittersweet apples but watered down to pedestrian tannin level. All table sugar & faded apple skins. A bit high in acid, lightly astringent, creamy, veggie apples, leaning into a mildly oxidized, high pH glass, just incredibly bland. Tis okay abv for the style.
I want to ask all the right questions but it just seems like the usual corner cutting.
Don't buy this. Cheers.
