Domaine Dupont Cidre Bouche Fermier 750ml

NOTES

Located in Pays d'Auge, a part of Normandie well known for the quality of its agricultural products, the Dupont Family runs since 4 generations a 50 hectares Domain, of which 30 hectares of apple ciders orchards. The soils of the Domain, mainly marls and marly chalks, produce fruits with low yields that are rich and complex, that allows to produce a large range of traditional and innovative gastronomical products.

TASTING NOTES

The blend 80% of bitter-sweet apples (Mettais, Binet Rouge and Frequin) and 20% of acid apples (Judaines and Petit Jaune). After serving the cider, the foam disappears, but an intense carbonation remains. Orange color, slightly hazy. A sedimentation can appear in the bottom of the bottle. The nose is light and complex with aromas  of acidic apples and slight notes of yeasts. The palate is round, fruity with a palate weight of citrus fruits and apples. Lingering after taste.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

The cider Etienne Dupont can be served as an aperitif, but also during the meal as an accompaniment with poultry or fish cooked with cream. It can also be served as an accompaniment to cheese (made with cow milk: Camembert, Pont-l'Evêque, Livarot), apple desserts. Cider is also an excellent and a very traditionnal drink with salty and sweet pancakes.
