Cidre Dupont Reserve is aged six months in oak casks which were used to hold Calvados. This aging gives subtlety and excellent complexity.

Terroir:
 		 Nutrient poor clay and marl soil,
perfect for giving small fruit.
Varieties:
  		67% of bittersweet apples
33% of acid apples
Harvesting: from October to November
Alcohol content: 7.5 % vol.

Techniques used:
Controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats. Indigenous yeasts. The fermentation is controlled by successive racking. The cider is subsequently transferred into 400-litre barrels which had held Calvados, where it will slowly improve for six months. The cider is unpasteurised. Put into barrels between January and March and then bottled six months later.
Density (O.G.): 1060 after pressing, equivalent to 127g of sugar per litre. 1020 when bottled, which gives 7.5% alcohol after bottle fermentation has finished.

Tasting Notes:
Eyes: Very gently sparkling, fine bubbles. The color is gold, orange reflections.
Nose: Light, stewed apple and pear, underlined by notes of citrus fruits and sweet spices.
Mouth: Delicate, powerful and complex, round and intense on the palate. Aromas of cooked apples, balanced by the blended tannins of Calvados.

Nutrition:
No sugar added. No gluten.
Calories per glass: 85 Cal. (12.5 cl glass)

Suggestions:   (read also: Tasting Cider >>)
Storage: Keep the bottles upright. Can be stored 4 or 5 years in good conditions. Because the cider is on its lees, it will improve and become more complex.
Service between 8 and 12 °C (46 to 54°F) as an aperitif, or to accompany white meats or cheeses. Also excellent with apple based desserts or pancakes (crèpes).
