Nice Savagnin! Distinct aromas of lichie rather than rose petal coming through, very fresh and pristine on the nose. Good acidity, lots of minerality and well done persistance on the finish. Good balance and great food wine.

Jurafest 2012, Day 3 (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Fairly mild aromas, showing tart lemons. There's some interesting aromas here that keep me going back for a few more sniffs before diving in, but I'm having a really hard time pinpointing it. Things are more exuberant on the palate, with a really thick texture... feels and tastes like a pear smoothy with citric acid mixed in. Quite nice. Eruption of apple and pear bitterness mixed with a mineral/powdered magnesium sensation. Yummy stuff, with a nice future ahead of it. 90+

Slightly oxidized with a lovely, nutty nose. This is a cerebral wine but at times the components did balance each other well. Hints of tropical fruit demand food or cheese with a tang. Hold.

Savagnin ouillé...et on se retrouve dans un style proche de l'Alsace. Mais une Alsace sans résiduel et un très bel équilibre !
