Clocking in at a meager 11.5% alcohol and yet still bone dry, it’s super easy to indulge in a second or even third glass. Lots of green apple, bosc pear, bitter almond and citrus notes are supported by a lovely minerality, bright acidity, and surprisingly long finish. The descriptor ‘Alpine-clean’ might bring to mind a chewing gum or toothpaste commercial nowadays, but it must have come about when some skiers took a sip of this wine… like a mountain summit, it’s whistling with invigorating freshness. What… too much? Well it simply couldn’t be more true. The flinty quality compliments the herbaceousness perfectly, and the crisp, slightly tingly acidity keeps it wonderfully light. Similar to Muscadet, but less leesy with more complex fruit and aromatics.
