Cidre Pays d'Auge Protegee

Imported by French Cider Inc. of Seattle WA. Described as a demi-sec cider with secondary fermentation in the bottle. On the sweeter side of semi-dry. Low funk and no sourness, which is great to see for a Normandy cidre. Notes of ripe apples, pomace, orange, caramel, and leather. Retails for $19.99 / 750ml bottle. I loved the texture on this one, very fluffy! However, I think a better value can be had, as I've sampled many similar ciders which cost less.

This is a French cider which comes in a bottle similar to sparkling white wine ( AKA Champagne) has a nice fruit taste and a nice balance between seeetness, astringency and bitter. For those who do not like a lot of carbonation in their cider I do not recommend this. As I started to open it the cork popped off the bottle. I really enjoyed the bubbles:) especially since I was in the UK where many of the ciders had low carbonation.
