Hérout - Cidre Cotentin - Extra-Brut - Blanc - 2020

Wine:

The 2020 Cotentin AOC Extra-Brut Cider is distinguished by a beautiful golden color, both bright and intense. Its delicate effervescence and its assertive structure are linked to the aromas of apple tatin and ripe fruit. This is a gourmet cider that will not leave you indifferent, with beautiful and refreshing bitters. A dry style, ideal for the table, with fish or white meat worked with spices. Rated 91/100 by our Selection Committee.
