Etienne Dupont Normandy Cider

Etienne Dupont is located in Pays d’Auge, a part of Normandy well known for the quality of its ciders. The Dupont Estate consists of 74 Acres in Normandy, in the heart of the Pays d’Auge region. They produce ciders, pommeau and calvados.

It starts slightly dry and moves to a subdued sour middle with a nice, slightly yeasty finish. Really nice balance of sweet and tart on the palette. Flavours of wood, smoke and leather are not overpowering, but are a nice complement to the gentle apple flavour. Pairs well with a wide range of meats, cheeses, and vegetarian dishes. Particularly more pungent or smoky flavors.
