The “Extra Brut” Cotentin AOP by Théo Capelle is a distinguished artisanal cider crafted from carefully selected cider apples grown in the heart of Normandy’s Cotentin peninsula. Produced with minimal residual sugar, it offers a remarkably pure and authentic expression of the region’s maritime terroir. Its brilliant golden color and fine natural effervescence reflect exceptional craftsmanship and traditional cider-making expertise. The nose opens with vibrant aromas of fresh orchard apples, citrus zest, white flowers, and subtle herbal notes, complemented by a delicate saline minerality inspired by the nearby coastline. On the palate, the cider is exceptionally dry, crisp, and beautifully structured, with lively acidity enhancing pure apple flavors and a refined tannic backbone. Its elegant natural bubbles and remarkable freshness lead to a long, clean, and mineral-driven finish, leaving a lingering impression of precision and finesse. Crafted with respect for the traditions of Cotentin AOP, Théo Capelle’s Extra Brut perfectly embodies the freshness, elegance, and character of Normandy’s finest ciders. An outstanding aperitif, it also pairs beautifully with seafood, oysters, grilled fish, charcuterie, artisan cheeses, and contemporary cuisine, offering a refined and authentic taste of the Cotentin peninsula.
