Domaine Idylle
L'Altesse Rousette de Savoie Altesse
A big step up from the 2011. This has plump/crisp orchard fruits in spades. Seemingly sweet on the palate, but likely technically dry this wine plays so well with food.

Dec 17th, 2016Really interesting. Salinity, pears, stone fruits, pine nuts. Fresh with just enough richness.

Jan 4th, 2016All white orchard fruit, almost conjuring chenin, but lacking that bitter/mineral note I expect. Juicy and fun. Relatively simple.

Jun 16th, 2015feels sweet but this is dry. orchard fruits galore! ripe yellow apple, yellow pear. medium acidity, finishes with a slight vanilla note. kinda reminds me of chenin without the little funk and minerality. great food wine!

Jul 13th, 2021Very nice mineral nose. Solo, it tastes a little too acidic and otherwise bland, but I imagine it to be good with seafood.

Jun 22nd, 2015Notes of lime zest and grass. Subtle honeyed scent but more so on the palate. Medium finish, structured with a very pleasant acidity. Great - recommended!
