Techniques used

The cider ferments in stainless steel vats. Givre is made by cryo-concentration, cooling the cider to very low temperature. At these temperatures, crystals of ice appear. They are separated from the liquid, which is thereby enriched with sugar, alcohol and body. Eight stages of chilling are needed in order to obtain Givre.


Tasting notes

Eyes: Orange color with slightly coppery and mahogany reflections. Brilliant and clear.
Nose: Caramelized apple, dried fruits supported by stone fruits.
Mouth: Round, rich, highly concentrated. Aromas of caramelized apples, raisins and nuts, with hints of candied cherries. A beautiful balance between sweetness and acidity, leading to a complex and refreshing finish..


Nutrition

No sugar added.


Suggestions

Storage: Keep the bottles upright or lying down in a cool cellar (8 to 12°C, 46 to 54°F ). Givre keeps for a long time. After opening, keep refrigerated and drink within a week to avoid any oxidation.
Service: Serve very chilled to accompany blue cheese, pan-fried foie gras, dessert made with dried fruits and apple (Tarte Tatin, crumble, walnut cake), chocolate and red fruits.
