Maison Hérout Cidre Biologique Micro-Cuvée No. 1 2021 750ml

Micro-Cuvée No. 1 2021 is an organic sparkling cider from Maison Hérout in the Cotentin peninsula of Normandy, France, at 6% ABV.

After its first fermentation, the cider rests at least three months in oak barrels that held AOC Calvados for many years, which adds a touch of extra strength and tannin.

It is orange-yellow in color, dense and complex, with a very fruity finesse.

The bubbles come naturally in the bottle, and the cider is made from 100% pure juice of organic cider apples, unpasteurized and with no added gas.

Hérout's 10-hectare orchard grows more than 25 apple varieties on the schist, sandstone and granite of the Armorican Massif.
