Cider - Fruit Cider 6.2 º

Cidre Sauvageon

This Specialty Cider presents a sophisticated profile shaped by a unique two-week carbonic maceration of estate apples and fresh rhubarb. The technique imparts a vibrant, almost candy-like fruitiness that melds seamlessly with the sharp, zesty tartness of the rhubarb from Ruban Bleu. On the palate, crisp apple flavors from Domaine Labranche are elevated by a distinct vegetal earthiness and a bright acidity that defines the sensory experience. This cider is remarkably refreshing, balancing its rustic orchard origins with a modern, vinous elegance. The interplay between the juicy apple core and the bracing rhubarb creates a lively, multifaceted character that finishes bone-dry and impeccably clean.

Appearance. Pours a delicate pale salmon to light rose hue with brilliant clarity and a lively, fast-rising effervescence that forms a brief, white, pinpoint-bubble head with no significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh, zesty rhubarb and bright, green apple skin. The carbonic maceration provides a unique floral and strawberry-like ester profile, backed by a light, clean earthy note and a faint hint of fermentation spice.

Taste. Initial impression is sharply tart and refreshing, dominated by the punchy, acidic bite of rhubarb. The mid-palate reveals crisp, ripe apple juice flavors and a subtle berry-like sweetness. Bitterness is absent, though a light tannic structure provides grip. The finish is very dry, clean, and lingering with a refreshing malic acidity.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a brisk, high carbonation that creates a dancing, prickly sensation on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is negligible. No astringency, though the acidity provides a mouth-watering quality.
