Éric Bordelet Sidre Nouvelle Vague (33cl)

Sidre Nouvelle Vague is a cider from Éric Bordelet in a 33cl bottle, made from a blend of sweet, bitter and acidic cider apples. The fruit is picked by hand between September and December, lightly crushed and gently pressed, then fermented in tank in the traditional way. Bottling keeps some of the fruit's natural sugars. The orchards are farmed organically and biodynamically on schist soils in the south of Normandy. The nose is fresh and ripe apple with a slightly tart edge. The palate is supple and fresh, gently sweet, with light sparkle and clear acidity, sitting between a brut and a demi-sec cider. The finish is fruity and refreshing.
