Crocus Alpinus Terroir d'Ayze Vieilles Vignes White Blend
Savoie, France
Penis wine alert! Gorgeous and very refined nose of hay, wild flowers, other herbs and florals and fresh mountain air. Juicy, refined and concentrated with top notch finesse. Really classy wine. Drinks like $60 white burg.
Lovely earthy and minerals scents. So silky and suave. Best version ever. Amazingly linear and so complex. Long finish. Maybe a 9.5 with air. Awesome, treacly texture. Such wonderful sap and length

More refined and more mineral, more elegant nose, fermentation in 3-4 year old barrels, plan is to have length. 70-115 years old . All old barrels. Same parcel. Spectacular palate with length, complexity and purity, rounder and more opulent, with terrific complexity and length, salty and mineral finish. So pure. NO ML.

Feb 9th, 2019Old old old vines here. 85-115. Nose is all alpine. Flowers, green apples, apple pie, mineral and the freshest mountain air one can believe. Freshly wet hay. Snow capped pine trees. Wonderfully pure. Palate is wow. Dense, tactile and juicy with just awesome density and depth. Old vine sap for days. Terrific purity and structure. So long. So grippy. Stunning. Finish is miles long. 1er Cru white burg level.

Perhaps the best vintage of this we’ve yet had. Pure alpine spring water. Mineral, terrific freshness, citric acid, florals. Sappy. Long finish. Fabulous.

Jan 24th, 2023Subdued aromatics but terrific depth, density, & complexity of the palate. Slate/lemon accord, florals, bitter pith.

Nose has sweet minerals.
Palate is fresh apple. Very mineral. Some mountain stream. As this opens it adds richness and complexity. Extremely sprightly. Some lovely mild chalkiness.
Great change of pace wine. Im having with Chinese comfort food. Singapore chow mei fun.
Let’s see how this evolves.

Floral nose. Opening gushes like a mountain stream, great acidity. More florals, mineral, spring water, slight medicinal note, fresh honey, mouth-coating finish. Lovely work.

Can’t say it any better than @Lyle Fass on his reviews of this wine. Light, refreshing and minerality...
