Pricey 375ml bottle from Cellar D'or. Lo-ball back at the hotel. Murky rich gold pour. Wet leaf mulch, a little barnyard, faint ammonia, still fermenting apples. Pithy, bittersweet, earthy, juicy, a civilized wild flavor, a touch of vinegar, very French. Semi-sweet with a dry finish. Smooth. Very soft but consistent carbonation. Vinegar builds as it warms. Not bad.
