Les Grangeons de L'Albarine 'Altiesse en Paradis' VdF, 2020

Regular price $45.00

This wine is made of 100% Altesse, from Bugey, France. We would pair it with veal cutlets and scalloped potatoes. The vines grow on poor, rocky limestone soil, producing wines with singing minerality. The wine is vinified in sandstone amphorae, with a small addition of sulfites. The mouthfeel is packed with flavor and salinity and is not to be missed by lovers of Loire Valley white wines.

Details

From Vine Trail (UK): Lieu-dit En Paradis is on the western side of the Coteau d'Argis – the SW-facing vines were planted from 2002 to 2006 (by the previous owner) at the foot of the Roche de Narse on 30-35 degree slopes; the soil is poor with extremely rocky limestone scree (from the Bathonian age, middle Jurassic) lying over grey marl – "on paper, this is top terroir that can produce the finest mineral white wines, but hey time will tell!", comments Luc. Fermentation and 12-month ageing in sandstone ('grés') amphoras, the only addition of SO2 (10mg/l) occurs then, before bottling without filtration. This is altesse like no other or at least unlike any we've tasted before, the mouthfeel is packed with fine bitters and mineral salts, forming an almost tannic impression on the gums and the tip of the tongue – not to be missed by all the savagnin and chenin aficionados out there. For drinking now to 2028.
