2011 Pierre Boniface Roussette de Savoie....$19.99
The excellent 2011 Les Rocailles Roussette de Savoie comes from an indigenous grape varietal called Altesse. It offers up notes of fresh wheat thins, honeyed citrus and spring flowers that are followed by a well-textured, lush, succulent, dry white that is bigger and richer than the Apremont.
Rated 89/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Altesse: Grown primarily in the Roussette de Savoie region of France, bordering Switzerland and Italy, the Altesse grape produces wines of incredible character and purity. Highly aromatic and possesing wonderful acidity Altesse is a perfect foil for full flavored chesses and spicy dishes. Due to small yields and a fickle nature Altesse is relatively unknown in the American market place, but it sure to please if stumbled upon.
