Commercial Description:
A taste of Québec’s winter... and warmth! Our apple ice wine is produced in the depths of Québec’s winter, each bottle containing a blend of 5 kg of McIntosh and Spartan apples. This golden liquid develops a complex aroma of candied fruit and achieves the perfect balance between the tart and the mellow. Enjoy Neige alone as an aperitif, or with foie gras, cheese or dessert. Serve chilled.

375 ml bottle. Thanks to my Secret Festivus for the bottle. Pours a crystal clear gold with no head. The aroma is sweet apples. The flavor very much reminds me of some of the better ice wines I’ve had, only instead of grapes, the flavor is apple. Rich and flavorful with just the right amount of sweetness. The alcohol is gently warming near the finish. Very enjoyable.

375ml bottle and a huge thanks to Glouglouburp for this extra! wow, an amazing extra. pours clear yellow with no head. nose of apples, earthy, and apple cores. flavor of sweet apples, apple core, and almost syrupy sweet. no alcohol is noticed in flavor and bascially warmth down the throat. this drinks like apple juice. amazing. everything is so clean and refined, extremely drinkable.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Courtesy of Thomas_E. Clear, deep golden with no head whatsoever. Intense, sweetish apple aroma. Very full and rich body with these intense, sugary notes - apple syrup perhaps, perhaps even with a touch of cinnamon. There’s a vague, underlying acidity. Truly delicious. 191207

Rating #1200. Bottle. Big thanks to Radiomgb for sending this one to me. Nice golden body. Aroma is wood, apples. Flavor is sweet, tart apples, wood. Thick mouthfeel. Alcohol is undetected but sneaks up on you. Glad to have the chance to try this.

2005 vintage. Pours a crystal clear light golden color. The body is 99.9% still, though the occasional bubble escapes from the gathering that collects near the bottom of the cordial glass. Though not as thick as its big brother, Frimas, the Neige sports syrupy legs that cling to the glass well, foreshadowing the inevitably luxurious mouthfeel. The aroma boasts a full-on concentrated apple assault, with seemingly every variety of the fruit, from crisp Washington to tangy Granny Smith on full display. The flavor follows suit exactly, though the concentration and tangy subtleties intensify. A smooth, viscous, almost creamy mouthfeel borders on perfect, though falls just short (perhaps only because I know the Frimas is even more decadent). This is truly awesome stuff that I would love to be able to have on a more frequent basis. As it stands, I feel very fortunate that I am in a position to enjoy on special occasions.
