Napoleone Cider

Napoleone Cider’s Louis is a sophisticated, barrel-fermented tribute that balances rustic orchard fruit with refined oak influence. The nose opens with bright, crisp apple notes layered over subtle vanilla and toasted oak, reflecting its time in wood. On the palate, a delicate interplay of tart culinary apples and soft wood tannins provides structure, while the barrel fermentation introduces a rounded complexity and a faint hint of spice. This Hard Cider finishes clean and remarkably dry, with a lingering orchard-fresh acidity that honors the history of Louis Cardinoux with a characterful, artisanal profile that is both refreshing and deeply textured.

Appearance. Pale straw to light gold (SRM 2-4) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a fleeting, white effervescent head that quickly dissipates, leaving minimal lacing. High carbonation with visible rising bubbles.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of fresh apple juice and fermented pomace. Distinctive secondary notes of seasoned oak, light vanilla, and a touch of spicy clove from the barrel fermentation. Clean fermentation profile with no significant esters or sulfur.

Taste. Initial impression is of tart, crisp apples and subtle citrus. The mid-palate reveals the barrel influence through mild wood tannins and a soft, creamy texture. Very low sweetness, leaning towards a dry finish. No hop bitterness. The aftertaste is clean with a lingering apple skin tartness and a whisper of woody complexity.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a prickly, high carbonation. No alcohol warmth at 4.5% ABV. A slight, pleasant astringency from the oak tannins adds structure without being harsh or puckering.
