11/10 A 0.75 l screw capped bottle, not corked like most of the ciders. Doggythedog and me found it at the Carrefour in Cannes I think. It poured lighter golden body with small head. Corky aroma, with freshly smashed apples, like Doux, just bit more sharper. Dryer flavor, apples of course, wood. Bitter to sour, thinner bodied. Sour finish that strains the palate. Fine one, still over low expectations, as of the bottle look, but somehow I liked their doux more.

Bought under the Ducs de Normandie label Short-lived Champenoise head over metallic red-golden cider. Apples, flowery, green apples that have been sugared, but also lime soap. Rather watery taste, ending on a wry-ish spicy note. Sweet applejuice background, watered down. Some acidity, but more from the CO² than from the fruit. Very fizzy MF, exaggerated in its striving to be a méthode Champenoise. Another very middled CSR product. Too sweet for being called "Brut", just as Jacob states.
