Why we love it
Because ice cider is one of the most distinctive expressions of Québec cider making. Domaine Lafrance embraces richness and concentration while retaining enough acidity to keep the experience from feeling simply sweet. Serve it in a small pour with cheese or dessert to discover what Québec's cold climate can bring to apples.
Tasting
In detail.
The nose is intensely fruity, dominated by ripe, candied apple, with notes of honey, apricot and concentrated fruit. The palate is broad and very sweet, but sustained acidity brings tension and prevents heaviness. The finish is long, rich and persistent.
