Dom. Rouge-Bleu 2021 Dentelle Blanc
This enchanting wine is made from a kitchen-sink of promiscuously planted white varieties both native and foreign. It used to be just a play-project, but Thomas and Caroline were so happy with the results that they decided to plant more and bring it up to commercial scale. Uncommonly fragrant and lively for southern white. It tastes even better on the third day than the first, as is so often the case with early bottlings.
