Unicorn, in that This Savoie is Verdesse. Kind of like a challenging mountain hike— may not always feel good on the way, but grateful for the view, & the process. Some of its dichotomy is in its intense (Alpine!!) aromatics- intense minerality, freshness, pine needles, grapefruit pith, & it’s absolute dry mouthfeel. On palate it’s like a Chenin Blanc but zero RS, including the texture which is thick & smooth. Medium acidity. — 6 months ago

Super funky but not annoyingly so. Smoky on nose. I’ll leave the rest of the descriptors to Lyle. I don’t know that many words. :) I like it v much. PS info see the taurasi and crozes references here. — a year ago

What a nose. Mondeuse like but made from many wacky grapes. Fresh and deep .More later.

After 4 hours open.

Nose is dusty earthy and loads of berry fruit. Mineral and precise with just loads of fruit on the nose. So pure. Palate has loads of crunchy berry fruit that is blue and black with light tannin and terrific freshness. Sappy and even a little complex. Great value. — 5 years ago

Super nose that is so alpine. Grass, deep berry fruit, blackberry, mint and spice. Wild flowers. Insane minerals. Insane florals. Pine needles. Resin. So so complex. A knockout nose. Just incredible. I can’t believe how bright and lifted it was. Opulent, incisive and textured. Gorgeous sweet and elegant fruit with very serious texture. A great wine. Really. Terrific concentration. Sappy. The ultimate alpine gamay. Almost a 9.3. So great.

@Delectable Wine this is in Isere, so i think it can be put in savoie. — 4 years ago
