Commercial Description:
Variety of apples: 80% of bitter-sweet apples (Mettais, Binet Rouge and Frequin) and 20% of acid apples (Judaines and Petit Jaune) Pressing density: 1065 Fermentation takes place in Inox tank. Wild yeasts are used and fermentation is controlled mainly by settlement extraction. After the traditional fermentation in a barrel, it is the bottle itself that, thanks to a secondary fermentation, the “prise de mousse” takes place. This natural phenomenon requires careful and patient attention to each bottle. During the aging period “sur lattes”, the bottles are rotated daily, manually, gradually from the horizontal to the vertical position, in order that the sediment will accumulate in the neck of the bottle, to await removal. At the time of “degorgement”, the neck of the bottle is frozen and, enclosed in ice, the sediment is then removed.

Bottle, bought @ Vinens Verden, Odense.
Pours a super-nice clear golden. Fizzy thin head disappears as I pour it. Two small streams of bubbles surge upwards. Aroma has lots of green apple, oak and dryness. Highish carbonation, fine frothy mouthfeel. Flavour is relatively dry, some sweet green apples and a slightly more tart note of red apples. Fresh and nice.

Bottled. A light golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of apples. The flavor is sweet with notes of apples, leading to a lightly tart finish.

750mL bottle, dated 2004. Clear golden with a two finger white head, low retention. Aroma of sweet apple juice and honey. Flavor is a little bit tart with a semi-dry finish, minimal bitterness. Medium body, moderate fizzy carbonation. Pretty good cider--not crazy complex, but good-- though $25 a bottle is a little steep.

2006 vintage @VinensVerden, Odense. 75cl Bottle. Thanks to MadsNP. Pours clear yellow with a fading bubbly head leaving small and handsome curtains. Nose and taste is of sweet and sour apples, hay, wood, dust and barnyard. Very fresh with a nice dry end.

On tap at Novare Res in portland. Pours with a huge white foamy head that is gone after you blink. This tastes out of this world good, aroma of old apples. Flavor is like a nice fresh cider with a little funk thrown in. It may be my first real cider, but I cant wait to try more.

Corked bottle, vintage 2004, 4 years old
Hazy blond color. Elegant aroma: apples, wood, sweet nuts, light sourness. Quite dry mouthfeel, with some apples, citrus fruits, fresh wood, all well mixed together; quite sour; good carbonation. Very good.
