Commercial Description:
Le Cap des Tourmentes, 750ml, 12.5% alcool Cap Tourmente was named by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. Sailing up the Saint Lawrence River, he named the promontory "Cap de Tourmente" because the water on this part of this river became rough with the slightest breeze. Le Cap des Tourmentes puts new life into mead. Born of the natural fermentation of water and selected Québec honey, its typical character stems from the floral source of the nectar collected by the bees. A slow aging process guarantees its refined taste and the full development of its high quality.Probably the oldest fermented drink known, mead was traditionally drunk by many peoples on all five continents. In Viking mythology, it held a place of honor on the table of the god Odin. The Greeks considered it to be an elixir for long life, calling it ambrosia, de ambrotos : immortal.Le Cap des Tourmentes is a sweet wine used as an aperitif, served well-chilled. It can accompany fruit, olives, crackers and cheeses. Or serve it warmed after activities in our tempestuous winters.
