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 consists 80% of bitter-sweet apples (Mettais, Binet Rouge and Frequin) and 20% of acid apples (Judaines and Petit Jaune). Pours with a frothy white head that fades to a ring over a hazed, bubbly gold body. Aroma of barnyard, manure, brett, sourness, green tart apples, calvados and straw. Taste is sweet, with a light funk, really bright and vibrant apple flavor, apple brandy (calvados), and light spices. Lively effervescence, dry mouthfeel, highly drinkable. Truly spectacular!
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
The Cidre Organique 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 traditional drink with salty and sweet pancakes.
