One of the sweeter whites I've had recently, but perfect for a savory crêpe brunch. Some nice lilac and blossom notes and lots of pear.

Too dry to match spicy Thai, but makes a noble effort with its bright fruit and cleansing acidity. A very solid rendition of dry Vouvray

A bright nose of green apple, citrus and a hint of fig. Ripe and full on the palate. Juicy notes of racy grapefruit and lime with a great backbone of minerality. The finish is bright and crisp and lingering.

2013 vintage. Bone dry. Limestone central and perfect on the first warm day of spring in the RVA.

11.5% booze, $19 on wine-searcher, sample. Just lovely. Honeyed and spicy, but subtle and with nice acidity to hold it together.
