Description
Julien Thurel, a woodsman and ornithologist, has been making foraged and organically farmed pear and apple ciders since 2012. He who knows birds, knows trees and this specialist has devoted much time to researching local apple and pear varieties, selecting the ones best suited to his native clay, limestone and silex soils. A perfectionist and nativist, Julien is driven by a mission to find the best local varieties that would lead to delicate yet aromatically complex and age-worthy ciders.

750ml wired cork bottle from Vinatis. Opened with a pop. Orange golden colour, white foamy head that quickly dissipates to a thin layer and aroma of apple, funk, caramel. Taste is tangy, tart, apple, fleshy, caramel, with some funk, wood, and drying tannins.

(Bottle) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with apples, apple skin, flowers, honey, wood and hay. Fruity, slightly tart taste with apples, apple skin, grass, honey, flowers, wood and a fairly dry finish with a balanced acidity. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Crisp, clean and really well made cider. Nothing adventurous, just crisp and brilliant. Very nice.
