2004 Vintage 750ml (6.9%). Pours with a large white head that diminishes to a ring over a mostly clear golden body. Highly effervescent looking. Aroma is slightly tart, light phenolics, horse, sweet dough, bright and lightly acidic. A bit of soil, sulfur and brown sugar. Taste is rich, acidic, sweet-tart balance, caramel, light oxidation, musty, raisins. Really actually hard to describe, but it feels, rich, complex, and balanced, but my words fail me on true descriptors. A bit boozy, phenolic, rich, lively bubbles, good and interesting.

750 ml dark green "champagne" bottle, as "Famille E. Dupont Cidre Bouché Effervescent Naturel", vintage 2007. From Vinmonopolet, bestillingsutvalget. ABV is 5%. Bottle conditioned. 80% of the blend comes from the bitter-sweet apple varieties Mettais, Binet Rouge and Frequin, with 20% Judaines and Petit Jaune for acidity. Gushes out of the bottle when the cork is popped, pours very fizzy, moderate carbonation in the glass. Golden colour, white head disappears instantly. Nice aroma of cider apples and sweet eating apples, with a hint of oak. Flavour of moderately oxidised cider apples, medium sweet. Slightly tart finish with hints of oak and sulphites. Easy drinking.

2007 vintage, thanks zvikar, clear deep brown to red and almost no carbonation, dominant aroma of apple puree with dried fruits and a hint of calvados, flavours of apple juice, spice and apple peal, quite sweet with not nearly enough sourness to balance but to avoid being cloyingly sweet, quite simple and not in the same class as the canadien versions i tried.
