COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Neige Récolte d’hiver est un Cidre de Glace exceptionnel. Il est uniquement produit à partir de variétés de pommes qui ne tombent pas à l’automne.Cueillies à la main entre décembre 2012 et février 2013, alors que la température avoisinait les –15 °C, les fruits demeurés accrochés aux arbres sont alors déshydratés par le soleil et littéralement cuits par le froid et le vent. Les sucres ont été concentrés par cryoextraction naturelle. Les pommes ont été pressées gelées pour en extraire le précieux nectar. Le moût ainsi recueilli a ensuite été placé en cuves d’inox, où il a fermenté 8 mois, à basse température, avant d’être embouteillé. Édition annuelle limitée (2015).

KennethArd (1084) - Odense, DENMARK - DEC 7, 2019
UPDATED: DEC 7, 2019 Aroma of overripe apples that have begun the decay process. Clear dark amber with no head. Very intense taste that is medium sour & light sweet & a dry finish. Medium body, sticky texture & no carbonation. I wonder if it's too old?

anstei (3818) - SWITZERLAND - JUL 31, 2019
UPDATED: JUL 31, 2019 Bottle, vintage 2012. Pours shiny amber. Cooked sweet apples, caramel. Intense and heavy, but nicely acidic and balanced. Slightly boozy, but not at fault. Good stuff.

Haslinger (1011) - The World of Beer, Texas, USA - OCT 26, 2017
375mL bottle from a sampler of 3 bottles of Neige ice wines. Well presented and just a fantastic drink. apples, honey, raisin and clove all come together to make this tastes like Grandmas kitchen smells around the winter holiday season. Wow just a blast of heaven.

Clownoisseur (531) - Buchanan, Michigan, USA - OCT 6, 2017
Bottle gifted by hackobock. Thanks a ton, Jacob! Split 3 ways as a birthday desert drink. Pours a golden honey color, amber hue. No head. Appears still. Aroma of baked apples, caramel, brandy, honey and light peach. Taste is decadent. Sweet apple pie, overripe mango, cognac, honey. Sticky on the palate. Finishes surprisingly moderate dry with resonating honey, melon and light spice. Warming alcohol but no sting. Incredibly delicious!

neongolden (3888) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - SEP 5, 2017
(375ml 2012 bottle from SAQ, bought and shared by my awesome girlfriend phyllomedusa) Pours a clear deep amber colour, thick and with solid legs. Aroma is sweet and super-concentrated, baked apples, apple preserve, caramel, preserved mixed berries, light tropical floral notes, honey, cinnamon, warm and lush. Flavour is wow. So rich, lush, deep and concentrated. Layers of different apple cultivars and their flavours baked with brown sugar and honey, dragging out notes of oranges, sweet strawberries, a touch of lychee canned in syrup, soft cinnamon and wooden spicebox. Full viscous mouthfeel, syrupy, no alcohol at all. This is seriously intense business all around, no doubt it's sweet but it's so big in flavour and complexity, with attendant mouthfeel, that it never really feels overbearing. Just indulgent. Certainly every ice cider doesn't need to be like this, but it's tough to beat!

Bottle in Seattle. Rainy night tasting. Huge thanks to Laurence for finding a bottle of this for me. A fantastic treat, tried immediately after the Premiere. Gorgeous dark cognac orange pour. Still, heavy body. Fascinating red apple aroma, exoticly fresh and lightly tropical. A hint of alcohol. First sip: wow. So rich and astoundingly delicious. Apple umami. Creamy, swirling sweet syrup. A touch of spice from alcohol, which perfumes everything. Complex, deep apple notes that I didn’t know existed in nature. Treacle, nut-apricot turkish delight, honey depth. Sweet without being overbearing. A lightly toasted tobacco edge, much darker notes than the Premiere. This just makes me think of Turkey for some reason. Delicious treat.

Bottle poured, with much thanks to luttonm for the share. Such a treat to try an ice cider like this. Quintessential, or at least up there with the others that are. Dark copper pour. Pear, caramel apple, brown sugar, sweet, and bold. Flavor is all the same, and perfectly put together. Pear fruit seems to come out for me, but blended nicely with a caramel apple, and soft apple spice. A full array of spiced fruit seem to go into this cider. Nectar seems to be the most fitting word that I can pull out of this description. Delicious, and deserves all the respect it gets. Loved it.
