A French apple from the 1700s which has a high sugar content that’s balanced with acidity. It’s a juicy apple, good for eating out of hand or with a knife. It is also good for cooking and in Normandy it is considered the best apple for making hard cider. One of the top favorites at the tastings here on the farm. A large, beautiful apple, red blush with russeting.
