This is a white wine from the east central part of France along the Swiss border. Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is fragrant, almost "skunk weed" (think summer outdoor concerts) along with a bit of minerality and a slight oxidized peach note. Medium bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, this is a bit sweet. Slight pineapple, honey and minerality. Strong acidity. It takes some getting used to but then delivers nicely. It would be better with food and went well with a variety of cheeses. Drink over the next few years. This is a wine to serve to wine geeks and probably not for summer sipping with the neighbors (depending on your neighbors, of course).
