Bottle, 2014 vintage consumed in 2020. Almost clear golden body under a small, rather fast disappearing white head. Looks great. Aroma has a combination of ripe, sweet apple and acidic fresh apple. Moderate acidic aroma with some of cellar notes. Taste is nice, rich, ripe, sweet apple with balancing acid and some wood. Fine body and long lasting, very pleasant aftertaste. Nice, quite classic French cider.

2017 bottle, 5,5 % abv. Huge thanks to Tomo for sharing this with Marko and me. Pale golden in colour. Buttery apple, vanilla, elegant sweet fruity touch. Some sugar, vanilla cake. Very drinkable, soft and elegant. Slightly sweeter.

0.75 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', 2015 vintage at 7.5% abv, cellared for about two years. Clear, golden amber with a thin, fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly sourish, gently fruity aroma of ripe apples, walnut, vanilla and some marzipan. Slightly sweet, a bit sour, quite dry, moderately fruity taste of ripe apples, dust, oak, some honey and a touch of vanilla, followed by a short, moderately tart, fairly woody-dry and a little alcoholic finish. Thin to medium body, a bit astringent and quite effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Nicely balanced and relatively rich cider, really pleasant and easy-going. Still, I expected a little more depth regarding its high rating, maybe aging for too long fades out the barrel too much?!

Bottle, Cidre Bouché 2017. Full yellow-golden body. Harmonious aroma, honey and fermented apple, light herbal touches by the end. Prickly, elegant, clean taste, sweetish fermented apple, light tartness, light herbal touches. Pure elegance!

31/12/2019. Bottle sample courtesy of minutemat, cheers! Pours clear bright gold with a fizzed short lasting white head. Aroma of rich fermented apples, caramel, brown sugar, it's been nicely enhanced by its time in the calvados oak casks. Medium plus sweetness, slight tart edge. Medium body, syrupy texture, average to soft carbonation. Liked this, very drinkable.

750mL bottle at Holm, pours a clear pale golden with almost no head. Aroma brings out barnyard funk, Belgian yeast, and champagne. Flavour brings out champagne-like effervescence, with light funk and Belgian yeast. Clarity isn't great but it's a nice cider.
