Wednesday, April 6, 2005 - Is this the QPR King of France? Here is a delicious bone-dry white to serve straight out of the ice bucket. The cold mutes the fruit and gives it a refreshing, Alpine quality that's inspiring me for the first time to use the word "schist" in a tasting note. At this point the wine is all about texture, offering the mouthfeel of a good Chablis but with a Savoyarde flavor profile. Given time to breathe and warm up, citrus fruit takes over, conveying both the acidity and the tang of fresh-squeezed lemons. Alcohol is a little stiff, given its proportions, but that's the only sign this juice saw the summer of 2003. I can't think of a better wine to buy by the case for summer days and nights this year.
