Le cidre Comte Louis de Lauriston est élaboré à partir d'une trentaine de variétés de pommes à cidre, dont une majorité de pommes amères (70%) riches en tannins qui lui confèrent son corps, 20% de pommes douces qui apportent leurs arômes fruités et 10 % de type acidulées pour équilibrer la structure en bouche.
Les pommes à maturité sont ramassées, broyées puis pressées pour en extraire le jus. Grâce au contrôle des températures, la fermentation reste lente. Le cidre Brut est ensuite embouteillé à 4,5%. Une deuxième fermentation consommant les sucres résiduels démarre alors en bouteille, conférant ainsi au cidre son aspect pétillant.
Il se boit frais, idéalement dans un verre à vin.

750 ml "champagne" bottle, as "Comte Louis de Lauriston Cidre Brut de Normandie", from Vinmonopolet, bestillingsutvalget. Christian Drouin is not mentioned on the label, but I assume he is the distributor. ABV is 4.8%. Golden colour, pours very fizzy with a huge but short-lived white head. Strong aroma of oxidised cider apples and sulphites. The flavour is medium sweet with notes of cider apples and sulphites. Slightly astringent finish. Nice enough to drink.

Bottled. A golden cider with a huge cream colored head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wood and apples, and so is the flavor, leading to an acidic finish. Nice.

Hazy blond color. It has a quite balanced apples aroma; but the mouthfeel is too weak, mostly at the end, astringent, disappointing.

Golden color. Wonderful apple aroma, sweet too, with a nice hazelnut touch. Medium-light body, dry mouthfeel, with light woody astringency, very light acidity, maybe less fruits than expected; light residual sweetness in the end. Perfectly balanced and very good.
