750mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a large, but rapidly dissipating white head. Aroma is full of barnyard funk, musty apple skins, and champagne-like effervescence. Flavour is wonderfully expressive and complex, with a beautiful barnyard funk character, champagne-like effervescence, oak, and apple skin must. Wow, that's a wonderful expression. The brut character is nearly bone dry. Carbonation is very high but perfectly fitting. Wonderful -- one of the best French ciders I've tried.

Les Sablons/Normandie. Cork currently still in orbit. Clear golden with lots of fizz. Smushy apples, yellow apples. Sweet, light acidic and lots of dry on the tongue tannins. Light body. Lichen funk. Very good with some camamebert 😘 perfect picnic cider.

Bottle. Color: Slightly hazy golden, no head. Aroma: Sweet and sour apples, farmyard funk. Taste: Over moderate sweet and moderate tart apples, some overripe apples, appleskin, quite some tannins, dry-ish mouthfeel, bit moldy farmyard and horseblanket funk. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Nice.

bottle from somewhere in Normandy (Seine-Maritime). Rural and robust apple flavours, pleasantly tart, very fruity.

Bottle at camping picnic at Binic festival. Clear golden with some bubbles. Sweet apple, light farmyard notes, apple peel, light pear, soft spices, more juicy fresh apple. Medium sweet, light tart. Medium bodied with quite some sparkly carbonation. Good! I regret giving away the Brut bottle I had now.

Thanks! 750 ml. bottle sampled. Pale golden. Nose is massive soap, very soapy FR cider funk. Carbonation is massive, fitting for the style but way too much for me here. Too sweet upfront, soap sweet, sugar & finish is low dirty FR cider funk. Fair for what it is I suppose but not really my thing.
