750ml wired cork bottle from trade courtesy of sjogro, cheers Sjoerd! Opened with a loud pop. Sparkling, orangey golden colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of muck, apple, funky. Taste is sweetish, juicy apple, tangy and tart, with lots of leathery earthy orchardy funk, along with drying tannins. Medium bodied, soft spritzy carbonation, drying & spicy mellow tannic finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle from the boater-hat & eyeliner guy’s shop in Beuvron-en-Auge shared in an Airbnb in Normandy. Pours unclear and orangey amber with some active lacing and transparent bubbles on top. Sweet apples, mold, moss, treebark, massive barnyard, earthy and oniony funky, parmesan, smoked chicken, ginger fruity, apples and pears. Beautiful stuff. Moderate sweet and bitter. Medium body, cool mineral feel and soft unfiltered mouthfeel. Very nice active but soft carbonation. This goes on the YES list.

Bottle - Horse blanket and farmhouse notes. Clearish gold with no head. Dry effervescent, farmhouse funk and some sweetness in the finish. Apple is in the background. Bubbles are quite prominent and take away from the flavour.
