Les Abymes Jacquère

Gorgeous soft tannins. Classy tart acidity. Alluring fruit complexity with lingering finish of grapefruit and melon

Tart and simple. Nice salinity but doesn't go anywhere.

Bright and fresh. Delicious.

Delicious and gulpable high acid mountain white. Great with oysters

So light that it's hard to parcel out flavor and notes ... Jacqueres grape

Different vineyard but still 100% Jacquere, and this one is nicely on the cusp but not yet going down. Bro hints of the putative initial mountain freshness and minerals, together with a lithe expression of age.

Unlike the previous VIN de Savoie this Jacquere is not over the hill. Color is lighter, straw yellow, nose of white floral bouquet and palate of acidic steely backbone with good finish.

CVed 5/24/17. Restrained nose of stones and light floral notes. Light golden color and PD slate with interesting oxidative notes balanced by rocks and minerals and a finish that shows complexity and acidity. Opened 7/4/18 at MELs for vino dinner with Maria Ali and Pei. Nose obviously oxidized so may be defective CV.

Lovely and still drinking well

Smells crisp like golden apples, honeysuckle, and white oleander. Tastes tart like citrus.
