Domaine Christine Vernay

Sainte Agathe Syrah 2020

Basket of fresh black and red fruits, smoky notes, roasted, charcoal, pepper, violet. The nose suggests a little residual sugar, except it will turn out to be very dry in the mouth. Supple and beautiful creaminess, the texture in the mouth is beautiful. Côte-Rôtie style. Superb for its price.

Panier de fruits frais noirs et rouges, notes fumées, rôties, charbon, poivre, violette. Le nez suggère un peu de sucre résiduel, hors il se révélera très sec en bouche. Souplesse et belle onctuosité, la texture en bouche est magnifique. De la puissance totalement enrobée. Une Cote Rôtie masquée, sous le nom Vin de France. Superbe pour son prix!

Eminence Sylvaner 2019

This Sylvaner is grown in the Zinnkoepfle Grand Cru (but is called “Eminence” because Sylvaner is not an Alsatian noble grape), fat and ripe, but shows underlying minerality and acidity, really just a lovely drink!! — a year ago

I love Gewurz. I mostly drink it myself and with family members who enjoy it. My experience opening them with dinner guests who are unfamiliar with its unique smell/flavor profile is that they almost invariably dislike it because it’s so dissonant from their expectation of what white wine is supposed to be. Their loss!
