La Ferme du Vastel Paf Le Cidre (Récolte 2019)

Created back in 2007 by Christophe Bouvet the Normandy farm is owned by his grandparents and has been in the family for over 150 years. Located in one of the most northern points in Normandy, it is perfect for the production of high quality cidre.

All orchards are certified organic, although Christophe takes it beyond the certified requirements ensuring life is prevalent everywhere, promoting biodiversity as much as possible. Over the years he has restored balance to the farm, creating a healthy and thriving environment.

A blend of a few different apples from all orchards. The different tanks were sampled and selected, for blending before bottling. The ferment continues in bottle for a few months until the yeasts are dead and there are sufficient bubbles – and this bottle has plenty!

Fresh apples and florals, interlaced with honey droplets. Pectin in the back. Lots of bubbles, which are fine, strong and persistent. The taste is bright, fresh and mouth coating, before the drying tannins kick in. Very dry, with just a little hint of sweetness at the front.
