Tasting- Dom Labbe Abymes Vin de Savoie

The Dom Labbe Abymes Vin de Savoie was the first wine we tried at the Vintage Cellar yesterday. It is a 2012, 100% Jacquere from Savoie, France priced at $13.95. The Vintage Cellar said, "This delicious crisp white is 100% Jacquere, a grape varietal that grows especially well in the Savoie regions of France nestled in the foothills of the alps. The meticulous and traditional vineyard work of low yields coupled with vinification in non-reactive tanks and foudres produces a wine with excellent typicity and freshness. The color is a clear pale lemon green and the aromas are pure eith a medium intensity of flowers and citrus. A clean, dry white wine with bright acidity, stony minerals and floral fruit flavors. It is a natural match for shellfish or it can be enjoyed alone as an apertif on a warm sunny day." This particular wine and the Gerard Boulay Sancerre Chavignol were by far my favorites of the seven wines we tried today. It was very smooth and refreshing with a bite of citrus; not too dry yet not too sweet.
