Nice aroma of oxidised cider apples, farmhouse kitchen, sulphur and oak. The flavour has again notes of oxidised cider apples, with a relatively low acidity, fairly dry, slightly tart and woody in the finish. Easy drinking.

Golden, effervescent. Skin-like apples on the nose. Light minerals. Very fizzy. Somewhat tart. Not much flavour - especially apple. I liked this line’s doux, but that has nice sugars and soft carbonation. This is much more harsh and industrial, lead by fizz and it really misses those sugars.

29/11 A 0.75l bottle. It poured golden body with medium sized head. Nice freshly smashed apples in the nose. Dry enough for a brut. Sourish flavor, nice fresh apple characteristics, medium and fizzy body. Some fine sweetness present as well. Astringent vinegar and apple and vinegar finish. Typical French brut cider, well made, but nothing that would impress me too much.

0.5l bottle found somewhere in France... too bad I didn’t have room for the Doux too. Poured a golden body with almost no head. Nothing out of the ordinary. The nose is sweet and appley, nice in a way. The taste is slightly gluey but not much. The taste is it better, apples again, acidic near the end, A pleasant, balanched cheaper cidre.

Bottled (From Alko). Golden colour, no head. Aroma is fresh green apples along with some slight rotten apples and mild wooden notes. Flavour is quite much the same with a certain sourness to it. A bit thin in the palate, otherwise quite ok.
