Le Pere Jules Cidre Brut 5% 750ml Apple Cider Brut; Normandie France
| Description: | Le Pere Jules' Brut Cidre de Normandie cider is truly a classic French cider from the Normandy region in France. Cidre Brut is a sparkling dry cider that has been made by the Desfrièches family for more than 100 years. They grow heirloom French cider apple varieties on their farm, and Cidre Brut is a blend of primarily Mettais, Domaine, Frequin Rouge, Rambault, Argile Grise, Argile Rouge, and Bisquet. The apples are hand harvested each October and then left in dry storage for 2 weeks prior to pressing - this process promotes sugar concentration. The cider is then fermented for up to 4 months before being bottled and cellared for at least 6 weeks. Secondary fermentation in the bottle results in the sparkling cider. Tasting Notes & Food Pairings : Semi-dry but with a tannic character that is present from onset through the finish, so it drinks a little drier. Very rich & ripe apple characteristics, with notes of lemon & lime, white flowers, and honey. Upfront in the mouth, its develops an earthy, rich and fruity bouquet with interesting tannins for a long aftertaste. Pairs well with nearly any meal. Our favorite pairings are Sunday brunch, grilled meats, creamy/funky/sharp cheeses, any rich and hearty dinner. Grab a couple bottles of Le Pere Jules Cider and pair it with a bottle of Le Pere Jules Pommeau de Normandie!.
