"A vintage made for the table".
L'Argelette (the name given by the old-timers) refers to the schistose pebbles on which the orchard stands. A "Grand Cru" cuvée made from old trees and as many varieties as possible. The fruit is blended in the same way every year: 40% bitter, 40% sweet and 20% tart, in keeping with the vintage. A complex, vinous cider with good ageing potential, thanks to its balance of substance, acidity, roundness, fullness and minerality.
