Walter Hansel - Cuvée Alyce Chardonnay 2006 (750ml) Cotes de BlayeThe best cuvee I tasted of the 2006s is the 2006 Chardonnay Cuvee Alyce, a spectacular Chardonnay that possesses notes of buttered citrus, white currants, crushed rocks, honeysuckle, and tropical fruits. It is full bodied, rich, deep, pure, and stunningly long and intense. This is a superb Chardonnay and the most opulent and fleshy of all these wines. A terrific source of sensational Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays made very much in the style of the wines
It’s deep
or enjoy with finger foods like mild cheese or bruschetta with tomato and basil
Remo’s family had a tradition for making home-made sparkling wine using a small wooden barrel: they called it “vin sfursà” because it fermented spontaneously in the wood until Easter
but there's more than enough acidity here to keep things lively
Grenaches are almost hundred years old
and you get one deliciously deep blend perfect for those long
Vermentino is one of the few white grapes that have adapted perfectly to the climate of the Mediterranean To-scana
This wine always overdelivers
Sourced from multiple vineyards across California
With its light as a feather approach
Breca Garnacha is their flagship wine
Given ten minutes in the glass
