Description of the wine

Der ursprüngliche Schaumwein, “La Folletière”, stammt aus dem Herzen von Lesuffleurs, einer Gemeinde, die ihren Namen in Respekt vor den Cider-Produzenten trägt. Der reiche Boden aus Silt und braunem Feuerstein, gekrönt mit einer Unterlage aus Lehm und Feuerstein und einem starken Fundament aus Kreide, kultiviert die Basis für diesen exquisiten Apfelwein. Der Cidre vereint 15 verschiedene Apfelsorten, wobei 25% saure Äpfel wie Rambeau und René Martin, 50% bittersüße Äpfel wie Bedan und Binet Rouge und weitere 25% bitter-tanninreiche Sorten wie Mettais und Frèquin enthalten sind. Alle kommen von Bäumen, die 1996 in präziser Ausrichtung mit einer Dichte von 700 halbhohen Stämmen pro Hektar gepflanzt wurden. Mit einem Restzucker von etwa 40 Gramm und handwerklichem Einfluss von der Ernte bis zur Gärung hat dieser Cidre seine Form durch die traditionelle Methode gefunden.

Optical profile

The colour of the wine is intense, deep and tends to amber with a lively mousseux.

Odour profile

La Folletière is a bouquet of aromas that masterfully combines and celebrates the diversity of apple varieties. It invites the nose with sweet apples, sour and bitter elements challenged by a rugged freshness and a noticeable acidity, accompanied by tannic notes. Delicate nuances of yeast fragrance, mellow fruit, peel, lime and undergrowth enrich the aroma, rounded off with hints of peach and lambic.

Taste profile

This cider knows how to flatter the palate. The acidity and tannin structure make themselves gently felt, while the sweetness is perfectly balanced. The cider is rich and sensual, with notes of ripe yellow and red apples, quince and a hint of soft apricots. Hints of ginger and tobacco round out the taste. The apple sparkling wine skilfully balances sweetness and tartness, offering a firmness that nevertheless makes it feel as airy as a Gugelhupf. The penetrating acidity gives the cider a subtle sharpness and contributes to the pleasant drinking flow of this juicy, sweet and tart-sour drink.

Recommendations for the combination with food

Consider enjoying this cider with gourmet options such as antipasti, apple pie or quiche à la Vosgienne.
