Jolie Laide Trousseau Gris Fanucchi Wood RoadA quietly compelling skin kissed take on Trousseau Gris, this feels like Sonoma through a slightly alpine lens. Pale copper in the glass, it opens on quince peel, underripe pear, dried apricot, and a faintly herbal, woodsy note that nods to the Fanucchi site itself. The palate is taut and textural rather than overtly fruity, carrying flavors of pith, tea leaf, and a gentle saline bitterness that keeps everything honest and refreshing. Theres a calm

leaving a quiet echo of citrus zest and sea air

it’s a wine made to be savored—whether paired with a celebratory meal

From Kermit Lynch's (the American importer) website:

Every element feels aligned

Full and elegant flavor

For the past few years

there is more to Mr

the 2016 Riesling has strong floral notes with an admixture of lime

a wine that leans into texture and energy rather than polish

And the price is a delightful contrast to the price of the state's more celebrated reds

wines from this region are finally appearing in
