Four types of apples, grown with great care in our orchards, go into making Grande Réserve. The frozen apples are pressed, fermented and barrel-aged, giving it its sparkling golden colour.
Tasting notes :
The rich nose reveals notes of candied apple, apricot and peach, with a kiss of acacia honey, mace and nutmeg. It is clean and fresh on the palate, with toasted undertones and a sumptuous, lingering finish.
Cidermaker : Patrick Fournier
Varieties :
Cortland, Golden Russet, Liberté, Empire.
Food pairings :
Ideal with blue cheese and dried apricots, or a curry- or saffron-based dish for a bolder combination. Also an excellent dessert wine – especially when paired with exotic fruit, like pineapple or mango, or apple/maple cupcakes.
Serving temperature :
Serve chilled between 8°C and 10°C.
SAQ code : Not available at SAQ

375ml (thx, Mathieu A.) @ 🏡. Virtually shared with Ryan, hehe. Vintage 2014. Appearance: clear dark copper. Aroma: very nice sweet red apples with some acidity, caramel. Taste: very thick, one of the thickest I've ever had probably, very sweet too, some acidity. Caramel and toffee. Round and smooth. Overall: very nice one, I would wish to have a bit more acidity here to balance the sweetness, however, the product is very nice in any case.

Corked bottle, vintage 2012, 5 years old
Light amber color. Light aroma, glue and apples, alcohol. Good body structure, sweet but not syrupy, balancing acidity, nice apple cider flavor without the usual sugary and caramelly depth of the best ones; some tannins and relatred astringency in the final.
Very good, not very complex.

Light golden. The aroma has a lot of apple, touch of cinnamon. On the palate, this is very sweet, touch of spice, and a little bit of apple. Nice acidity in the finish...sweet and fruity. I like this sense of balance.

375mL bottle, pours a clear golden caramel colour. Aroma brings out toffee, caramel, and brown sugar... bit of caramel apple too. Flavour is very complex, with brown sugar, toffee, caramel apple and moderate sweetness (for an ice cider). Complex and impeccably balanced.
