From one of Normandy's most celebrated producers, this beautifully rustic French cidre is all baked apples, orchard blossoms, subtle spice, and a little earthy funk, with delicate bubbles and a pleasantly bittersweet finish. Equally at home alongside a wedge of funky Camembert, a savory buckwheat galette, or a leisurely Sunday brunch. Proof that apples can be every bit as interesting as grapes.
