Indigenous yeasts. The fermentation is controlled by successive racking. The cider is unpasteurised. Bottled between May and April. No sulfites added.<br /><br />Density (O.G.): 1054 after pressing, equivalent to 112 g of sugar per litre. 1026 when bottled, which gives 4.5% alcohol after bottle fermentation has finished.<br /><br />Tasting Notes:<br />Eyes: A string of bubbles forms and keeps on rising in the glass. The colour is coppery, slightly hazy. There is a deposit at the bottom of the bottle.<br />Nose: Powerful and complex. Aromas of cooked apple, honey and dried fruits.Mouth: Intense and complex. Balanced between bitterness and freshness. Hints of apples, pineapple and honey.<br /><br />Suggestions:<br />Storage: Keep the bottles upright in a cool cellar (8 to 12°C, 46 to 54°F ). If well cellared, it can be kept for 5 years after bottling, Because the cider is on its lees, the mouth will improve and become more complex.<br />As an aperitif, or to accompany white meats (chicken or pork), fish or cheeses such as Camembert, Livarot or Pont l'Eveque With apple based desserts or, more traditionally with sweet or savoury pancakes (crepes).
