2016 bottle. Clear deep ruby color with no head. Aroma is gummi bears, red apples. Taste is concentrated red apples, gummibears. Thick oily mouthfeel, flat. Almost Canadian - very sweet and rich, delicious as hell, with just a touch of acidity, and quite clean. Hardly any tannins there compared to the 6% version.

Bottle, as Dupont Cidre Bouché 2015. Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is funky custard, very rustic, barnyard, leather. Taste is apple skin, rustic, leathery, vanilla, dry rustic finish. Dry finish, champenoise mouthfeel. Great dry and rustic cidre! --- Beer merged from original tick of Cidre Bouché Fermier on 10 Nov 2017 at 11:49 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8. Original review text: 2015 Bottle as "Cidre Bouché". Clear golden color with white head that goes down quickly. Aroma is wood, leathery, red apples, funky, earthy. Taste is sweet apples, tannic, leathery, dry mineralic finish that is extremely leathery. Fizzy carbonation. Great Cidre, but it takes some getting used to I guess - it's not super approachable.

(750ml 2016 bottle from Etre) Pours clear deep gold with a small rapidly fizzing white head. Notes of lightly sweet baking apple, tart apple skins, lots of oak, touches of brandy warmth, vanilla, hints of bright candied citrus peel, musty funk, light floral notes. The lightly to moderately sweet core finishes off-dry with slight minerality, oaky richness and lots of lingering apple and Calvados. Medium bodied with nice effervescence. A very elegant cider, perhaps not as dry as I was expecting but it doesn't really limit its drinkability.

Un très grand merci à Vincent pour m'avoir offert cette bouteille. Cela faisait un bout de temps que je ne m'étais pas essayé au cidre, et cette bouteille était parfaite pour moi. J'ai toujours eu un faible pour les cidres fermiers qui ont ces accents terroirs. Ceux-ci s'accompagnent il est vrai souvent d'une astringence marquée qui ne plaisent pas à tous. J'étais donc, le temps d'une dégustation au plein cœur du bocage normand. Mais quand vous boostez quelque peu ce type de cidre pour lui faire atteindre 11 ° vous obtenez en plus un cidre racé aux accents de pommeau. L'ensemble est merveilleusement servi par un excellent équilibre, l'alcool est parfaitement intégré sans que le cidre soit trop sucré, et à la fois une petite acidité et une petite amertume sont présent pour donner un peu de fraîcheur. La corpulence est moyenne mais la longueur est quant à elle très honorable. En ce qui concerne le visuel, le blond orangé très légèrement voilé, est tout à fait sympathique pour un cidre. Très beau cidre
