wine festivals. Adjusted price for a great discovery (less than 18 €). Very good choice highly recommended by my wine merchant who could see that I started on my own home without his advice. I hope he does not live badly ... ;-)
Here, Anne-Sophie Pic and Michel Chapoutier have joined forces to dig up a white wine among the best in the Drome. Perfect balance to the nose, very fruity very summer, which can prevent the memory of the lavender. Good length and freshness on the palate reminiscent of some fresh nuts. Tested for throwing a dinner in some way the feast of the season with a vegetable broth to simmer forgotten on the fire for over an hour (onions, tomatoes, spinach, beans and thyme) and in which I put the shells in opening few minutes before serving warm. Nice start for the frost season deal.
