Domaine Dupont's Cidre Blanc de Pomme is a unique and rare cider from one of the most famed cider producing families in Normandy, France. Unlike most common French ciders in many ways: this cider is a single-varietal cider, made 100% from an acidic apple variety, fermented to complete dryness, and bottled as a still (uncarbonated) cider.

Controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats with selected yeasts. Similar to white wine, the fermentation is completely done, with no residual sugars. The cider stays on its lees for several weeks, to take advantage of the lees giving richness and balance to the final product.

Tasting notes: Nose: A touch of buttery notes and fresh apples on the nose, enhanced by floral note, hints of pineapple, and citrus fruits. On the palate it is a rich with flavors of fresh apples supported by tangy notes reminiscent tart candy. The finish is mineraly and slightly saline.

About Domaine Dupont: One of the world's most renowned cidermakers, Domaine Dupont has 74 acres of orchards in Normandy, France in the heart of the Pays d'Auge region. They grow 6,000 trees of more than 13 different apple varieties that are all well adapted to the Pay d'Auge terroir. Etienne Dupont took up the reigns of the family estate in 1980, and he and his late son, Jérôme, made Domaine Dupont a world-recognized name in French cider, Calvados, and pommeau.

Price

If you're looking for a full case of this or any other cider, please e-mail us and we'll setup a special order for you. We can usually get more of any cider we feature in our shop, and offer a discount on full-case special orders. Most bottled ciders come in 12-bottle cases, and canned ciders come in 24-can cases. Some rare or limited ciders may not be eligible for a case order discount, but we can still get you a full case.

We ship cider in boxes that safely hold 4-bottles, 6-bottles, or 12-bottles. Order in one of those quantities (or multiples of those quantities) to maximize your shipping value. For example, if you order 2-3 ciders, there will be room left in the box and it won't meaningfully change the shipping costs to fill the box.

We do have 1-bottle boxes, but in most all instances it will cost the same to ship you a full 4-bottle box.

Shipping to a business address will usually save you a few bucks!

Shipping cost estimates:

Pacific Northwest/West Coast: Shipping anywhere in the Pacific Northwest or West Coast is relatively inexpensive. Almost all box sizes cost $16-21 to ship. Same is true for most destinations in the Mountain Time Zone.
Central Standard Time Zone / Midwest: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $18-24 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $22-30 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.
East Coast: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $20-25 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $25-35 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.

Important Shipping Information:

We are able to ship cider to most, but not all, states.
Legally, someone 21+ must be present at the time of delivery to sign for the cider. We cannot ship to PO Boxes or AFO/FPO addresses.
Shipping prices vary by weight and destination. How far you are from Seattle (where we ship from), and remote vs. central your shipping destination is, and how heavy your box is will make shipping vary.
The bigger the box, the less you pay in shipping on a per-bottle basis. We ship in 1, 4, 6, and 12 bottle boxes - order in those quantities for the best shipping value. The size of the box matters as much as the weight, so don't leave empty slots in your bottle box! Shipping 1-2 bottles will cost the same as shipping 4-6 bottles in most cases. Shipping a 12-bottle box is usually only $3-5 more than shipping a 4-6 bottle box.
Re-delivery and returns are the responsibility of the customer.
We don't recommend shipping during periods of extreme weather. If your area has weather of concern, please contact us and we can hold your order.

We can usually accommodate rush requests for delivery or pickup. Please e-mail us at cider@pressthenpress.com or call/text us at (206)395-4008.
