8th Aug 2026: 75cl bottle from the producer. Now that's proper, exquisite balance of subtle farmyard, soft tannin, cider orchard breeze and blossoming Norman fruit. Wonderful.
12th May 2016: 75cl bottle from Auchan. Drunk in the park on a sunny Summer evening. Pours hazy orange with some floaters, thin white head. Spritzy carbonation. Fuzzy, mushy farmhouse apple pulp aroma. Taste is smooth with soft extra fine bubbles, soft apple mush fruitiness with a very mild furry tannic finish. Nice scuzzy farmhouse fruitiness. Lovely stuff.

750ml bottle from Len’s cellar, aged bottle. Orangey golden colour, bubbly white foam head that quickly dissipates away and aroma of ripe apple, honey, leather, barnyard, woody oak. Taste is tangy fruity apple, green apples, apple skin, dry, bittersweet with notes of leather, woody oak, vanilla, honey, caramel, hay, barnyard, plus some tannin and lingering sourness. Spritzy mouthfeel, light bodied, high carbonation, dry tart finish. Nicely balanced, very drinkable.

From Auchan, 75cl bottle. Hazy deep yellow color, with very little head disappearing. Medium carbonation. Smell is apple, with clear wood notes.Taste is not so dry, there is tartness, sourness, but there is also a sweet feeling at the beginning. Is not really fruity, and the after taste is not so long, but it’s a good cider.

Corked bottle from Auchan, Quatre Temps, La Défense, Paris
Blond color; like the sister bottle (Brut) this one as well has a very high carbonation and evident perlage, but also a small head retention. The aroma is peculiar, it reminds at times the Champagne and manure, sulfites. It’s an elegant semi-sweet, with light fruit presence, a bit more wood and tannins, and light sulfites too. Very strange, controversial, but not unpleasant.

Hazy deep blond color; extreme carbonation and perlage, persistent; no head retention. Aroma of apples, very light oxidisation.The mouthfeel is dry in the front, salty; there is light apple flavor, promptly hidden by the medium dryness and astringency. Not enough fruity, not the strongest character, yet quite slylish.
