Brasserie Levain Cidre
Brasserie Levain Cidre presents a sophisticated marriage of orchard and vineyard, defined by its intricate spontaneous fermentation. The extended maturation for one year in oak barrels on toasted Savagnin grape lees imparts a distinct vinous character, blending the rustic charm of a dry cider with the refined elegance of Jura white wine. Expect a light, slightly acidic profile where the orchard fruit is transformed by delicate, nutty undertones from the lees and soft woody nuances. Fine carbonation dances across the palate, carrying subtle mineral and tart grape notes toward a crisp, bone-dry finish that reflects its patient two-year development.
Appearance. Pale gold (4-6 SRM) with a fine, fast-dissipating white head. Clarity is brilliant to slightly hazy, characterized by persistent, tiny effervescent bubbles.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring tart apple skins and bruised orchard fruit. Complex funk from indigenous fermentation provides earthy and slightly spicy phenols. Significant vinous influence from Savagnin lees offers toasted nuts, dried lemon peel, and a hint of vanilla-oak.
Taste. Initial tartness evolves into a bone-dry, wine-like complexity. Lean apple flavors are quickly layered with the savory, nutty nuances of toasted Savagnin lees. High acidity provides a refreshing bite, balanced by a faint woody tannin from the oak. Finishes exceptionally dry and clean with lingering mineral and white grape notes.
Mouthfeel. Light body with a crisp, refreshing structure. High, fine-beaded carbonation provides a prickly, champagne-like mouthfeel. Minimal alcohol warmth and very low tannin-driven astringency.
