Vin du Lac of Chelan 2012 late harvest Gewurtztraminer and Riesling blend. Light, sweet, caramel strengths with vanilla and apricot underneath. Subtle and good for fruity dessert. — 10 years ago

Roussette de Savoie 2011 "Altesse" Domaine Pasquier

Nous annonçons officiellement la saison de la raclette 2014/2015 ouverte ! Ben quoi ? Si nous le faisons pas, qui va le faire ? Personne !
Avec de la raclette on boit quoi ? De la Roussette de Savoie ! Je vous vois déjà venir, la Roussette (cépage aussi appelé Altesse), ouais, bof. On va compter jusqu'à 3 et à 3, vous aurez oubliez tout ce que vous avez déjà goûté en Roussette, et vous pénètrerez dans un nouvel univers gustatif, olfactif (et pif et paf), attention : 1, 2...3 !

Pour commencer, il faut préciser que ce vin est réalisé dans les règles de l'art, de façon traditionnelle et non-interventionniste : vendangé à la main, avec une vinification sans intrant et sans aucun ajout de soufre (donc pas de mal de crâne à l'horizon), puis une année d'élevage en foudre et enfin on attend jusqu'à ce que le vin soit prêt à la vente (1 an).

La robe est claire, limpide, le nez s'ouvre pleinement en offrant une large palette aromatique où se mélangent fleurs blanches, miel et pâte de fruit, sur de légères notes agrumées.

La bouche : délicate et fleurie (aussi), elle s'inscrit parfaitement dans la continuité du nez et offre une belle acidité, sur la craie, avec une longueur tout en gourmandise (coing, fruits secs). La maîtrise est bluffante et le rendu impeccable ;)

Conclusion : un vin superbe, très près de l'exceptionnel qui fonctionnera parfaitement lors d'un apéritif plutôt marin (tartare d'algues, anchois, sardines) ou sur un poisson de lac. Bien évidement, c'est sur la raclette qu'il prendra toute son aise, c'est même délicieux.

Acheté 12 euros à la P´tite cave, boulevard de l'hôpital dans le 13e arrondissement, métro Gobelin.

Merci à Olivier et Nadège

Checking in on this one. Purchased a case for the restaurant 2 years ago and it wasn't ready. Now it's beautifully subtle, quiet and peaceful as the place it comes from. I want to sleep naked in a bed with sheets that have the same texture as this wine. — 8 years ago

Light with an excellent finish. Blueberries. Oaky and vanilla light finish — 9 years ago

Dusty, tannic nose with a bit of leather and shoe polish, not much fruit. French oak along with its characteristic pop of vanilla is dominant. More cherry syrup on the palate than expected with tongue-stripping and grippy tannins and more new French oak. Intense. Would settle down and become less oak-dominant with time. — 9 years ago

As a reference, this smells like BeCreme de Lys from California. Which is a good thing! Means they're getting something right. buttery and smooth, ripe green apples mixed in with oak, but not appalling. Appalling would be the William Hill Napa Chard. That, was a bad wine. — 10 years ago

Less jammy than the VDL Cuvée Rouge. A lot more balanced. More terroir driven than fruit driven. Solid European style red blend. Nice job!! $32/92pts — 10 years ago
