2015 Savoie Chignin-Bergeron Blanc “Les Terrasses”

A. & M. Quenard
Discount Eligible $33.00
SOLD OUT
Have you ever been high up in the mountains and experienced a day that was both warm and cold at the same time? Maybe you’re out hiking under a brilliant, cloudless sky. You’re sweating, down to your shirtsleeves, and then suddenly a breeze comes down off the peaks and chills you to the bone. Grown in the French Alps on some of the steepest vineyards anywhere, Quenard’s Les Terrasses embodies this Alpine paradox. There’s the ripe pear and peach fruit you associate with Roussanne, the grape here, but with a mineral streak running through like a rushing stream of ice-cold, crystalline snowmelt. –Dustin Soiseth

Old wine bottles

Let the brett nerds retire into protective bubbles, and whenever they thirst for wine it can be passed in to them through a sterile filter. Those of us on the outside can continue to enjoy complex, natural, living wines.
