Karnage (Charles Dagand & Stephane Planche)
Zak Mauzac
Jura, France
Whaaaat? Natty Mauzac vinified in the Jura. Cloudy pale-ish lemon. Bruised green apple, lemon zest, dried white peach, angostura bitters, chamomile, Basque sidra, fresh sage, hazelnut, white mushroom, tamari, brackish minerality. A bit of CO2 prickle; bracing, manzanilla sherry-like acidity. Light and lifted but subtly textural. Begs for shellfish. Perfect for a sweltering Texas summer night.
