Cyril's classic Brut. Dry, ripe apples, a little bit funky-barnyard on the finish. Pair this with a plate of aged cheeses and country paté.
Apples are picked from the tree, then aged whole in small wooden crates for up to two months before being crushed, pressed, and then transferred to stainless steel tanks where fermentation starts. Bottled while fermenting and placed on the pupitres (the racks used for riddling) for up to a year. No yeasting, no filtering, no sulfur added.
This is an assemblage of 69 varieties of cider apples coming from different orchards around Glos, in the Calvados department. Certified organic.
