Pricey bottle from Press online. Decent discount that pays for the shipping, I guess. Sat in the fridge a long while. Lo-ball at home.
Half hazy, mellow pale gold, strong initial lathery head that crashes like soda.
Earthy, honey, apple sauce, pineapple, slightly vinous nose.
Taste is bittersharp & slightly floral. Soft but tart pineapple, Viognier, citrus squeeze, calcium, very minimal funk, earthy dry finish, lingering honey.
The wife thinks it's pleasantly sweet, honey-ish with a champagne-y fizz. Bordelet quality with better attributes.
Sophisticated mouthfeel. Ample & persistant soft bubbles, stone, leathery pear skin, bit of a sulfite-y feel.
Really great. Should have planned to share this. Ended up giving a glass to my wife for some unapologetic notes.

330mL bottle at La Cidrerie, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out gentle funk upfront, with gentle mustiness, and crisp apple skins. Flavour is sharp, with lots of champagne-like character, low sweetness, and crisp pear skins. Aggressive carbonation that is very fitting. Not the most complex perry, but it's certainly pleasant.

Sampled from bottle at Skatecafé as Poiré Domfront. Clear pale straw with no head. Sweet funky pear, pear skins, soft green leaves and moss, light sea water notes without the salt, a bit of lemon. Under medium sweet, light sour. Light bodied with fizzy carbonation. Great.

75cl bottle from a French stall @ Shrewsbury Food Festival June 2016. Pours clear, pale yellow, no head. Aroma is sweet perry pears. Taste has a very light, fine spritz with a cool, lightly sweet French perry character and some floral elderflower notes. A tight dryness on the finish. Nice.
