In August 2016 the renowned ice cider producing company "La Face Cachée de la Pomme" under ownership of Mr. François Pouliot joined forces with Pomdial Inc. to form CidreCo. with a mission to grow and expand (by also obtaining the business of colleague ice cidery Domaine Pinnacle). But during the developing processes the partners disagreed over multiple issues and CidreCo. fell apart.

In this stage the new partner Pomdial took legal action and seized the assets of CidreCo. under which were multiple trademarks such as 'Neige' and 'Domaine Pinnacle'.

Mr. Pouliot found new backing and made an offer to obtain the assets, but Pomdial also forwarded an offer and a judge favoured the offer by Pomdial Inc.

60.000 liters of juice, and a truckload of assets associated with the trademarks that are now owned by Pomdial Inc. were seized from Domain Neige.
Fortunately, the estate itself, the orchard and the buildings are not part of the transaction.

'Neige Cidre de Glace' has been produced by Mr. Pouliot & co. at Domeine Neige in Hemmingford since 1994 but the name he built is now a brand that belongs to a couple of businessmen who, at the time of obtaining these 'assets' didn't even have permits to make or sell cider.

Mr. Pouliot will continue to produce ice cider like he has been doing since 1994 under the name Verger Hemmingford.

Suite à la prise de contrôle du Domaine Neige par CidreCo, les installations ont été déménagés et certains produits NEIGE ont continués d'être commercialisés par CidreCo au Domaine Pinnacle.
Suite à la fermeture du Domaine Pinnacle, les produits Neige sont produits sous contrat par une cidrerie tierce.
