2013 Vin de Savoie Chignin-Bergeron “Les Terrasses”

André et Michel Quenard
Discount Eligible $33.00
SOLD OUT
I learned during a recent visit that Michel’s father André still insists on pruning the vines on these terraces perched on the steep slopes all by himself. Nobody else is allowed to take sécateur to vine on this hallowed ground. André is now in his eighties. These terraces are home to some of the Quenards’ most prized Roussanne vines. These vines, firmly rooted in mountain limestone, produce an intriguing, delicious, and noble white that ingeniously marries the honeyed, apricot richness of Roussanne with alpine freshness. –Dixon Brooke

Inspiring Thirst

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
