Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for La Corvée
◎ Appearance
Deep golden amber with subtle haze, reflecting the wine-grape influence and extended maceration. The head forms modestly but persists with fine, delicate lacing that adheres gently to the glass. Carbonation is restrained, typical of traditional lambic production, lending a still, contemplative quality to the pour.
◌ Aroma
Complex interplay of aged lambic funk—leather, earth, and subtle barnyard notes—interwoven with dark stone fruit from the Trousseau and Poulsard marc. Grape skins contribute dried cherry, plum skin, and a faint vinous warmth. The nose carries acidity without sharpness, rounded by two years of barrel age and amphora contact.
◐ Taste
Full-bodied entry with immediate tartness and a dry, grainy malt foundation that anchors the wine-driven character. Mid-palate shows concentrated dark fruit—plum, cherry, and prune—balanced against a gentle funk and peppery spice. The 7.5% ABV manifests as warmth and depth rather than burn; acidity remains present but integrated, creating a sustained dry finish without astringency.
◑ Finish
Long, drying finish with lingering grape tannin and a subtle peppery edge. The aftertaste fades gradually into leather and faint earthiness, inviting another sip.
