Domaine de la Rosière Jongieux Blanc

As longtime fans of the refreshing low-alcohol glacial purity of Jacquère-based Jongieux, we’re delighted to present this new entry to our market from the Domaine de la Rosière. One of the seventeen superior villages in the appellation allowed to append their names to the Vin de Savoie AOC designation, Jongieux crafts wines considered by most experts to be among the very finest of this sub-alpine region. Rosière’s 2011 Jongieux opens with a brilliant pale gold color and refreshing scents of lime zest, chamomile and crushed stones. Zippy, clean, fresh and bristling with crisp mineral-driven grapefruit, lime and lemon fruit, the wine is thrillingly pure and utterly refreshing, finishing as crisp and refreshing as it starts. At a modest 11.5% alcohol, it’s versatile for both weekend brunches, light midweek dinners and as an after work refreshment. Enjoy now and over the next year with poached fish preparations, green vegetables and any time the call is for a light, refreshing, mineral-driven white wine.
