"A cider of exceptional refinement!"

This "Vendange Tardive" is comparable to the great sweet wines of Sauternes, with a high residual sugar content. The key here is to take all the time necessary to obtain the most concentrated juice possible: late-harvest apples left to dry for two months, slow pressing (24 hours), and six months of fermentation in oak barrels. It features exceptionally fine bubbles and aromatic complexity.

Review and comment by Ms. MARIE LINE P. Posted on January 6, 2024

I was very disappointed with this Carpe Diem, which I’d been searching for for a long time. I served it with dessert at Christmas, and all the guests agreed that it’s a cider that’s a bit sweeter than a “doux” cider but with a slight bitterness in the finish, finer bubbles, and certainly a nice color—but absolutely nothing extraordinary. Some people even describe it as a “Sauternes”-style cider!! A sweet cider is just as good, if not better. I’m very, very disappointed with this tasting.
