“A cider of exceptional refinement!”

This "Vendange Tardive" is comparable to the great sweet wines of Sauternes, with a high residual sugar content. Here, the process takes time to ensure 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. The wine features fine bubbles and aromatic complexity.

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

I was very disappointed by 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” but with a slight bitterness in the finish, finer bubbles, and certainly a pretty 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. Very, very disappointed with this tasting.
