Ripe apples, grapefruit, lemongrass. Nice richness to palate, especially mid-palate, great acid, good length. Could be a good crossover wine for Sauv Blanc and Chard drinkers.

This vintage is not quite as full and rich has previous years, but instead it's a bit higher acid and more Jacquere-like. Still a great wine.

The 2011 is getting a bit tired at this point (needed more acid to keep going), but still a great wine. Altesse doesn't disappoint -fuller and rounder than its Savoie cousin Jacquere, but retaining that lively alpine purity.

Light color, body, acidic, very dry. Ok. Floral notes on nose. Flinty. Herbal.
