Cider - Other Specialty Cider/Perry 5 º

Domaine Julien Thurel

This 2019 vintage French Cider presents an elegant, rustic complexity derived from a specialized blend of Sebin vert, Sebin paquet, Sebin jaune, and Sebin carré apple varieties. The sensory profile opens with a rich bouquet of bittersweet apples, floral honey, and a sophisticated touch of earthy barnyard funk. On the palate, a delicate balance of residual sweetness is countered by bright acidity and a structural tannic grip. Effervescent and refined, it showcases concentrated ripe fruit and soft spice notes, finishing with a lingering, dry, phenolic complexity that reflects its artisanal origins and careful maturation.

Appearance. Deep gold to amber color (7–10 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a vigorous, fine-beaded mousse that forms a white, quickly dissipating head with light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of rich, bittersweet apple and cooked pomme character. Significant spicy phenols and a clean, earthy, leather-like funk. Subtle notes of floral honey and dried herbs; no diacetyl or acetobacter notes.

Taste. Initial impression is semi-sweet, rapidly balanced by firm malic acidity and a notable tannic structure. Rich flavors of ripe apple and quince are complemented by spicy fermentation esters. No hop bitterness. The finish is medium-dry and lingering, characterized by a clean phenolic character and persistent fruit skin notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a creamy, mouth-coating texture. High carbonation provides a lively, tingly sensation on the tongue. Very low alcohol warmth. Moderate astringency from the specific apple tannins.
