Domaine de l'Aujardière (Eric Chevalier)
Vin de Pays du Jardin Fié Gris
Such an interesting wine! An ancestor to Sauvignon Blanc (I think), this one hangs back on the nose, giving little away. But its flavors are confident and clear. It's got plenty of fruit but nothing like a fruit bomb. And it's not domestic fruit; it's exotic - passion fruit and mango. But the mineral and chemical aspects are phenomenal - bitterness is beautiful.
