2021. Had on day 1 and day 3 after opening with two different baked fish dishes. Tonight’s spicy mustard-ginger glazed salmon and charred Brussels sprouts turned out to be a great pairing for this aromatic field blend. — 7 months ago

NOT Chardonnay. Bouzeron is the only Côte Chalonnaise appellation planted only with Aligoté Doré. Les Fias has 4.63 ha. of vineyard. Low in alcohol (12.5%), this crisp , dry & delicate, like a Chablis in training. Well balanced but not for aging. — 3 years ago
Very smooth, bold flavor. — 2 months ago
Lots of fizz and a yeasty nose. Apples and pears, dry, light, perfect for summer. — 5 months ago

I’m not a “natural wine” devotee necessarily, but I am a Martha devotee.
Out to The Meadow is almost always one of my favorites in her line up. Chenin driven, this wine shows the variety’s funkier side on the nose (honeysuckle, wet wool, hay, gray stones). On the palate, it balances sweet (honey, honeysuckle) and sour (incredible tart, barely ripe green apple, white nectarine); fruity, vegetal and just the right amount of bitter (at least for those of us with an bias towards Italian whites) with Vermentino’s unmistakable salty fennel/herbal/grapefruit pith on the finish. Have no idea what “green hungarian” and “chasselas doré” add to the blend, but I trust the master and her modern interpretation of what a century old California field blend would have looked and tasted like. — 3 years ago
