  A Day With Olivier Humbrecht (Turckheim, Alsace, France): Olivier figured we had never had this as it is not exported to the US and most of the production is kept at the winery ( did he say all was kept for the family? I don't remember now ). If I remember correctly, Olivier said he made about 20 cases of this in '97. Some vintages he makes none ( all the Chardonnay goes into the Zind bottling ) and some vintages he keeps some of the Chardonnay separate. This wine saw a Burgundian elevage in a single new barrique, although the oak is well hidden in this very tasty wine. Delicate and exhibiting the low acid typical of the '97 vintage it was a pleasure to drink.
