Château Taillefer Lafon Reviews

fiulijn	3.5 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace Tasting at Ryan's, corked bottle; vintage 2014 Amber colour. Mild apple aroma, light glue. Watery body, when compared to the average ice cider, little residual sweetness; apple juice, with mild tannins, and almost no complexity. Monday, November 27, 2023
beerplace	3.8 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace 500ml (thx, Charles S.!) shared with Phill and Alex @ Ryan's. Vintage 2014. Appearance: clear copper with some bubbles. Aroma: pretty good red apples with some sweetness and acidity. Taste: along the same lines, moderately sweet, a bit acidic. It obviously has tannins and woody notes as well. A bit astringent. Overall: I agree that this one is not as complex as La Face Cachée De La Pomme products, but I don't understand why others got literally offended by this product. I would say it's pretty good for what it is. Sunday, November 26, 2023
pictoman	3.6 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace Poured from 500mL bottle (vintage 2014). Clear amber with very minimal white head. Lacks depth compared to your typical Quebec ice cider, but still okay. Mild stewed apples, medium sweetness. A touch thin, probably since it's only 7% abv. Decent. Sunday, November 26, 2023

AlainG	2.8 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace Récolte 2015. C’est doré. Ça sent le jus de pommes, le métal et le plastique. Ça goûte (aussi) le jus de pommes et/ou de raisins et/ou de poires. C’est sucré et ça a une finale légèrement poivrée. La texture est certes liquoreuse, mais ça reste un jus de pommes de luxe. (2127-110317) Monday, March 13, 2017
Whatup14	2.8 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace Bouteille 500ml. Couleur dorée terne translucide. Arôme de vieille pomme, alcool, eau de vaisselle. Goût de pomme, acidité moyenne-élevée, sucre d’érable en arrière-goût, pelure de pomme. Corps moyen-faible. Meh. Thursday, February 2, 2017
yourilevesque	2.6 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace Vintage 2013.Au souper de Noël quelqu’un sort ça. Je me dis donc "tiens, tiens! ". Robe maigrelette et frêle qui suppirte des arômes de jus de pommes, de rqisin vert à jus et de vin vendu dans une boîte de carton au format de 4 litres. Des saveurs de pomme sans saveurs aucune. Une texture molle et sans vie. Le pire cidre que j’ai bu depuis longtemps. Sunday, December 25, 2016
czar	3 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace pours clear light but bright gold with some shy legs probably due to its relative low abv. red and yellow apples, few cooked apples, citrus, floral and almost perfumey alcohol, intriguing woodsiness - oak chip feeling; some sweetness - apple sauce and honey; hint of tartness. flat carbonation, light to medium body - oily; softly tart and sweet honey finish. simple like an alcoholized apple juice, which can be kewl. or not. spoiler: costco ripoff.

tom10101	3 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace Sample from bottle at home. 2013 harvest. Clear pale golden with no head leaving little legs on the glass. Aroma is really bland with mild apple juice, herbal notes and mild alcohol. Taste is slightly sweet, mildly acidic with apple juice, herbal notes and alcohol. Light body for what it is. This mouthfeel. Lack juiciness and thickness. Bland apple juice finish. This is really bland but not horrible. I guess it’s what you should expect from a "Château" located in Laval that sells his products in Costco. Wednesday, August 24, 2016
ametras	2.8 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace 500ml bottle. Pours a clear light gold. Flavors are apples juice/skin, cooked apples and alcohol. Light acidity. Medium body, slick texture. Bland. Wednesday, March 9, 2016
SlovakSniper	2.4 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace Cidre liquoreux d’exception acheté au Costco et dégusté avec ma femme autour d’un feu à la campagne. Il s’agit ici de la récolte 2012, produit, élevé et mis en bouteille au Château. Je ne savais pas qu’il y avait un château sur la Montée Champagne à Laval. Bon, revenons à nos moutons. Robe de cidre. Bouquet de pommes à jus. Saveurs aigres de pommes. Légèrement liquoreux. Finale sèche sans grande qualité. Médiocre. Thursday, June 25, 2015
cfrancis	3.1 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace Should have known when I found this at Costco. A "light" cider at only 7%. Pours a thin yellow. Aroma is apple juice with a mild alcohol. Taste is very sweet and very much like apple juice. Alcohol doesn’t bring much taste, rather uninspiring and boring. Sunday, June 20, 2010
Lubiere	2.9 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace A golden cider with light baked apples in aroma, and light alcohol. In mouth, run of the mill cider, like a sweet apple juice with alcohol, overall boring and underwhelming. From Costco in Gatineau, bought in spring 2008. Tasted Nov. 14 2009.

TaktikMTL	2.7 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace Bouteille claire, de 375 ml, achetée chez Costco (Anjou, QC). Arôme: Légère odeur de pommes. Apparence: La couleur est dorée. Saveur: Léger goût de miel et de pommes. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de miel en arrière goût. (Rating #1476) Monday, February 18, 2008
Boutip	2.7 Taillefer Lafon Grand Frisson de Glace Bottle: Poured a medium yellow color cider with a semi-sweet aroma. Taste is not as sweet as expected for an ice cider. It also lacks some of the syrupy quality I usually appreciated in an ice cider. Body is also thinner then expected. Low level alcohol also mean that this can be drank as a regular drink instead of the usual digestif-size glass I usually drink of ice ciders. (I’m not sure about the description mentionning that this is available in Costco by the way) Wednesday, January 4, 2006
