On tap at BBP - Paris, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Nose is full of champagne yeast, lightly sweet apples, and a little funk. Flavour reveals that beautiful champagne / brut yeast, gentle funk, and moderate sweetness. The paradoxical dryness / sweetness that erupts from this is very pleasing. Very good.

750ml bottle. Pours an orange gold colour with a foamy white head that dissipates away. Nose of mucky barnyard and tart apple notes. Flavour is tangy, bittersweet apple, with leathery, barnyard funk, some caramel and dry tannin. Light bodied, spritzy carbonation, drying finish. Nicely drinkable.

75cl bottle. Pours clear gold with overly large receding white head. Aroma of light apple orchard, hay, light sweetness. Spritzy carbonation. Taste has a tight tannic hold and overly bitter skins that overshadow its fruity qualities somewhat. It’s ok, but you yearn for a little more fruitiness to shine through.

75 cl bottle @ hotel room. Aroma has leathery and floury apples. Also some sweetish apple juice. Flavour has floury apples, leathery tones and some juice. Aldo mild mineral tones. Okay but nothing special.
