Vinified using cormiers. Very fine bubbles and a bright, almost candy-like aroma of toffee apples, candied orange peel, butterscotch and ripe yellow nectarines. The palate is surprisingly tart and full-bodied with a delicate mousage. Overall, quite an expressive and balanced cider. APPELLATION Normandie, FranceVARIETY Corm apple STYLE Bright & BoldABV 8%WINEMAKER Eric Bordelet ABOUT : The corm is a small seed fruit, yellowish and red in colour but can also be grey according to the specific variety. Cormé is a 15th century beverage mainly present in the former province of Maine. It was considered a fruit wine, that is to say a fermented beverage made with any plant that could produce a fermentation. The Cormé was the first fermented fruit wine produced from corms. These fruits come from the tree named Cormier also known as Sorbus Domestica. The name of Cormé came from the Gallic "Curmi" which designated a fermented beverage, such as beer. It is the only wild tree that produces consumable fruits in large quantities but small. ABOUT THE REGIONLocated in the northwest of France, Normandy is renowned for its picturesque orchards and artisanal cider- and poiré-making and tradition. With its lush landscapes and temperate climate, this region is particularly suited for cultivating apple and pear trees, which provide a wide variety of fruits used in cider and poiré production allowing for a wide range of creativity and diversity in cider production.
