Description
It was in 1943 that the history of the Fournier family and of cider began. On the southern borders of Normandy, in the land of the Dukes of Alençon, the reliefs offer landscapes of solid hills interspersed with green valleys. Apple and pear trees bloom on the hillsides stretched out in the sun.
It is in this environment that Cidres Fournier cultivates their orchards of tall apple trees. The selected fruit varieties favor quality over yield. This is the spirit that drives Fournier Ciders in its development and the qualitative control of its growth: love of the land, orchards, fruit and a well-made product.
In 1996 company registration. Rocation of the premises of the distillery activity of M.Fernand in Saint Pierre des Nids for reasons of exploitation rights by the SARL Fournier Frères. chaired by Messrs Jean-Pierre and Fernand Fournier. The successful association of two brothers with complementary skills, especially after several years of training in the cider industry, creation and development of the range of cider products in bottles
In 2013 extension of orchards, +10 hectares planted. Creation of the Fournier brand.

Bolle, from a bottle. Medium hazy gold, flat, a few bubbles. Honey, pear, light caramel in the nose. Sweet pear juice, some sulphur and a touch of funk. Rather tart finish, light tannins. Fascinating and lovely.

75ml bottle. Pours clear gold, small but persistent white head. Aroma of fresh cider apple juice. Taste is extremely fruity, full of fresh apple fruit with a gripping tannic bite. Has the big vibrant character of a good 5 or 6% brut. Excellent cidre.

Many thanks to McTapps for this sample! Smooth sweetish apples, fresh, nice moderate tannins, easy to drink. The fresh and intense apples are nice and sweet, not too sugary, highly drinkable with a deep and nice tannin-aftertaste. Nice!

Many thanks to McTapps for this sample! Fresh, smooth and very nice tannin-tart cider. Quite sourish, very dry. Deep with nice tannins on the tongue, fruity fresh dry apples in the aftertaste. Highly drinkable and great deep cider!
