LARDY'S WINETASTING NOTES Dessert Wine

Although ready for immediate consumption, Neige can be aged and savored for several years. Served cold (6°C), it is a perfect aperitif or accompaniment to cheeses with a slightly nutty flavor."
"01-02-08 Appearance: Burnished gold.
Nose: Elegant ripe sweet apples with undertones of clove, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Palate: Sweet with almost fresh acidity, midweight plus. Bigger on the palate than the nose suggests, huge acid meets huge sugar and moderate alcohol and comes to a very satisfactory balance on the midpalate. The finish is very long and clean, with the acidity making it drier than it would otherwise seem.
Conclusions: Very good value for this kind of performance on the palate, capable of many years (15?) in a good cellar. I hate to say it but I think this is their best value. Not as rich as some of their other products, but superb acidity and spotlessly clean concentrated apple flavours makes the show work incredibly well here." lfw
FROM THE PRODUCERS:"Produced since 1994, Neige apple ice wine is produced through natural cryoconcentration. Offering the perfect balance of sugar and acidity, Neige is characterized by a rich amber color and a distinctive fresh apple flavor with a vanilla finish.
