Domaine Lesuffleur - La Folletière Cidre de Normandie 2018 (750 mL)

La Folletière Cidre de Normandie is made with a blend of 12 varieties grown on the Lesuffleur familiy's estate orchard. Approximately 40% bittersweet apples, 35% bitter apples, and 25% sharp apples for a balance of tannins, acidity, and fruit qualities. The juice is spontaneously fermented using indigenous yeast and using traditional keeving methods (long, slow fermentations with 3-4 rackings and light filtration). Finished in the ancestral method, with the cider aging on lees in the bottle for 3 or more years before disgorging. The vintage on the bottle (2018) refers to the harvest season of the fruit. The 2018 vintage was imported to the U.S. in more significant volume and probably the vintage you've tried stateside. We also have the 2019 vintage available here, which is a bit more limited.  Tasting Notes: This sparkling cider is a beautiful alternative to champagne. Drinks semi-dry to semi-sweet, with bold tannins (medium-plus), and lower (medium-minus) acidity. Aromas of honeycomb
