Bunch of London types talking about cider, what do you know? Come down my local and see if you can manage three pints of Black Rat scrumpy, and then we'll see what you're made of
But if you want the best cider, or cydre as he calls it, try Eric Bordelet's. He's an ex-sommelier who's making cider on his family's lands in Normandy. Unlike British makers who often use single varietals to make their cider, he uses up to twenty or more, selected for sweetness, flavour and acidity to bring a balance. He makes a basic cydre brut, an Argelete which is a vintage cider, hut the real star is the Poire Granite, which is a perry made from 100yr old trees and is sensational, like a really good Miscato D'Asti. Costs a lot mind. Les Caves De Pyrenes import them, but there should be stockists all over London. For the UK, Dunkertons and Sheppys are my favs
But for Elguapo's purposes, as I suggested, you should get should good cloudy apple juice and mull it
