Wine characteristics
Der Pyrrhus hebt seine Signatur als Größter Grand Cru aus dem Calvados-Gebiet hervor, indem er von drei “verborgenen” Äpfelsorten stammt, welche von uralten Bäumen in den Plantagen von La-Folletière und Friardel gepflückt werden. Benoit Lesuffleur verleiht dem Cidre eine persönliche Note, indem er ein Drittel des bitteren Lieblingsapfels seines Großvaters, ein Drittel des sauren Lieblingsapfels seines Vaters und ein Drittel seines eigenen bevorzugten bittersüßen Apfels verwendet. Die Früchte, die sorgfältig von Hand gesammelt und ausgewählt wurden, unterzogen sich anschließend einer natürlichen Gärung. Der Cidre wurde schließlich am 15. Januar 2019 abgefüllt und am 6. Dezember 2021 degorgiert.

Colour scheme
A strong amber hue enlivened by a lively mousseux accentuates the colourfulness of the Pyrrhus.

Bouquet
Pyrrhus exudes an irresistible uniqueness. Its aromatic finesse resembles a bouquet of the best apple and quince varieties, including their skins. It is joined by tones of flint, malt, lambic and hops as well as nuances of oranges and their zests, refined by a hint of almonds.

Taste
On the palate, the Pyrrhus turns out to be the finest silk, elegant and sensual at the same time, underpinned by subtle tannins. The harmonious embedding of acidity in a ripe fruit sweetness reveals a perfect balance between sweetness, astringency and acidity. Its price reflects its outstanding quality in terms of depth, complexity, sensuality and persistence, making it an incomparable representative of cider wines.

Food recommendations
Duck breast glazed in port wine and served with pepper sauce, together with a roasted apple, makes the Pyrrhus the perfect accompaniment. It is also excellent with black pudding, onions and apples wrapped in crispy puff pastry. Alternatively, it is an excellent accompaniment to scallops on a bed of butternut cider puree, garnished with an apple and fennel salad.
