The website claims that the wine tastes “the way Pinot Grigio used to taste before it became so popular.” That statement probably lost something in the translation from Italian, but I get their drift.
This Pinot Grigio is, in fact, “not your standard” stuff. The pale golden wine is aromatic enough, with a floral sensibility and a prominent overlay of minerals. A smoky character clouds those flowers and a basket of limes joins the aroma of wet rocks. The palate is pretty exciting, and I don’t have to qualify that statement with “for a Pinot Grigio.” It’s loaded with lemon and lime zest and strident acidity with a delicious salinity on the finish.

Lighter than clouds. Perhaps the most refreshing, summery red I've tasted lately, yet still with enough body to give it satisfactory character. — 8 years ago

1 of the 4 Champagne elements release series (fire, earth, air, and water). The L'air was such an awesome find (current and last release was "O", or water). It is lifted much like clouds ( beautiful sweet brioche toast notes, lemon zest, dried peaches, spiced honey, and and nutmeg. The pallet was creamy and full - full of baked golden apples, créme bruleé, toasted almond, and a bright lasting finish. I think this was an outstanding, and brilliant wine for under $90... yumm mmmm. Happy Valentine's Day! — 8 years ago

Heady mushroom and a little black wood funk adjusts to clean lemongrass and white lavender with a light crepe aroma. Lemon curd and white pepper with the finest mousse that envelopes the palate completely, and beckons the lemon oil and mascarpone toast and pomelo marmalade. The culmination of these flavors lingers ethereal, floating atop chalky clouds and lime and floral essences. #grandcruvalue #grandcru #PaulEtienne #bubbles #blancdeblancs #frenchwine — 8 years ago
