Bottled. A hazy dark golden mead. The aroma has notes of honey and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of honey, lemon, and flowers, leading to a dry pollen finish. Thanks fiulijn.

Corked bottle from the crêperie Ti Mourrou, Paris
The bottle has lot of sediment; it pours a beautiful golden color.
Very nice aroma, Marsala wine, flowers and dried fruits, lightly oxidised, but with some freshness, and alcohol.
It’s a semi-dry Mead, in the front some sweetness can still be perceived; dry honey flavor, with some oxidisation, it gets very similar to a dry sherry, with an elegance that many other meaderies find difficult to achieve.
The final is dry, woody, a bit fruity and slightly astringent, with just some alcohol warmth.
Very interesting.

Corked bottle from the crêperie Ti Mourrou, Paris
The bottle comes in a rare blu color; it pours a nice golden Mead.
The aroma is mild; there is some apple juice, light cork (the cork smells a bit of mold, indeed) and very light oxidisation. It’s a semi-sweet Mead; the apple juice flavor is strong, more than the honey, there is some light oxidisation and an average astringency, but mostly this Chouchenn is interesting for its pronounced fruit acidity.
The final gets a bit drier and woody.

Corked bottle from the crêperie Ti Mourrou, Paris
Beautiful golden color; they should start using better corks, because this one too smells a bit of mold, and it breaks. Nice aroma, some honey, light cork, and light Sherry (hence, oxidization), but not impressive. It’s a semi-sweet Mead, sweeter in the front and a bit drier and more woody in the end, with a light fruity touch; but overall it’s quite simple, it doesn’t have the interesting features of the Vieux Copain. Well made, balanced, but not exciting.
