DESCRIPTION
When you think of Roussanne, the Rhône Valley's white-wine blends might come to mind first, but this blanc from Savoie”where the grape is called Bergeron”could change that. The Quenards farm the grapes for this bottling on near-vertical, white, limestone scree slopes”the best terroir for Bergeron, they argue, because of its drainage and sun exposure, allowing the grapes to fully ripen. Even though the grapes achieve full ripeness, Les Roches Blanches is racier than many of its regal, fuller-bodied Rhône cousins largely because Chignin offers a cooler, alpine climate. This medium-bodied white evokes peaches, honey, and pine resin.
Perfect for winter nights and dishes like Chris Lee's hearty, Savoie-inspired fish chowder, it is mouthwatering and refreshing on its own, too.
