Bottle probably found in Cannes yeah. A big thick white head that vanished immediately leaving a yellow body. Very dusty apple nose. Sugary , too sugary sweet appley doux, oh so ordinary. Presented as generic and generic it is. For French standards of course.

11/10 A 0.75 l screw capped bottle, not corked like most of the ciders. Doggythedog and me found it at the Carrefour in Cannes I think. It poured lighter golden body with small head. Corky aroma, with freshly smashed apples, like Doux, just bit more sharper. Dryer flavor, apples of course, wood. Bitter to sour, thinner bodied. Sour finish that strains the palate. Fine one, still over low expectations, as of the bottle look, but somehow I liked their doux more.

11/10 A 0.75 l bottle found at the Carrefour in Cannes I believe. Not corked, but screw capped like some cheap wine. Golden bodied with typical short living head. Fresh apples in aroma and some cork, although there wasn’t one on the bottle I assume it’s from real wooden barrels. Sweet flavor, quite full bodied for only 2% ABV, simple with just smashed sweet apples, but pleasant. Longer sweetish finish that isn’t sour at all. Expected something bad as of the bottle look, but turned out to be a good Doux.

Pours with absolutely no head, looks like fizzy pop. Smells just slightly complex with fermenting apples and some dryness in the nose. Very dry taste, not much apple, kind of refreshing sweet middle and dry finish. Not so great.

Smells like apples, tastes very refreshing and goes down quick thanks to a 2% alcohol content. Looks like a repackaged low-end cider, found at a supermarket in Paris. Not so bad for the price and good for a hot day.

Corked bottle at Crèpes Délices, Montelimar
Golden color. Aroma of apple juice and cork. Dry with a light residual sweetness; the flavor is not rich, the final is drier and short, with an impression of soap.

Available at local supermarket. Colruyt stores in Belgium. Pours golden/amber, very thin white head. Aroma of apple, phenolic. Taste, dry, a lot more astringent, and sparkling on the palate, taste of older apple. Definitely dryer than the other version.

Bought under the Ducs de Normandie label Short-lived Champenoise head over metallic red-golden cider. Apples, flowery, green apples that have been sugared, but also lime soap. Rather watery taste, ending on a wry-ish spicy note. Sweet applejuice background, watered down. Some acidity, but more from the CO² than from the fruit. Very fizzy MF, exaggerated in its striving to be a méthode Champenoise. Another very middled CSR product. Too sweet for being called "Brut", just as Jacob states.
