At the end of the pressing process the must has already acquired the attractive golden amber tints of cider. After several weeks of fermentation in vats, the cider is racked and bottled.
Fermentation will subsequently continue slowly in the bottle, and the carbon dioxide that is naturally produced is retained by the cork to create the natural effervescence of cider.
The faint haze and the deposit present are the proofs of this bottle fermentation. They give the ciders from the Domaine Dupont their unique aromatic complexity. Stocked upright in good conditions (less than 15°C (59°F) the cider will improve and its mousse will become finer and more persistent.
The ABV is 6.9 and the IBU rating is n/a

Drinkable - This is my first cider blog. I've been looking for this bottle for a number of years. I found it a Capones in Norristown. At $25 for a 375ml bottle, it's very expensive but worth it. Have to remember that it has been aged for five years. Very well balanced. I wounder what a fresh bottle taste like?
This beer pairs well with apple dishes, most cheeses and desserts. Use as an aperitif or try it with foie gras.
