Cider - Fruit Cider 7.5 º

Chien Bleu

Chien Bleu Flora is a vibrant, elegant hybrid that bridges the gap between traditional cider and fine wine. The sensory experience is led by the heady, floral perfume of Moscato grapes, which intertwines seamlessly with the bright, succulent notes of ripe cherries. A crisp apple foundation provides the structural spine, offering a clean, acidic counterpoint to the lush fruit character. The influence of the cherries adds a refined tartness and a whisper of skin-derived tannin, while the Moscato lends a sophisticated aromatic lift. It finishes dry and effervescent, leaving a lingering impression of red berries and summer blossoms.

Appearance. Displays a brilliant, rose-tinted ruby color with excellent clarity. It pours with a brief, effervescent light pink head that dissipates quickly, leaving moderate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics featuring distinct floral notes of orange blossom and honeysuckle from the Moscato. Prominent red cherry esters follow, backed by a clean, fresh-pressed apple character. Subtle vinous undertones and a hint of stone fruit complexity are present.

Taste. The initial impression is a burst of tart cherry and sweet floral grape. A well-defined apple acidity balances the fruitiness, leading to an off-dry middle. The finish is crisp and clean with a lingering tartness from the cherries and a slight tannic grip.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a brisk, moderate-high carbonation that provides a lively, scrubbing sensation. A gentle alcohol warmth is noticeable but well-integrated, enhancing the vinous character without being harsh or hot.
