Le Cellier Brondien Roussette de Savoie

Dark gold in color. A beautiful nose of ripe peaches and apricots with a touch of stone. Lemon and lime, clean minerality and crisp acidity on the palate. Rich mouthfeel, a bit like an older French Meursault. Long satisfying finish. Wish I had more!

Big aromas: stone, uncut mango, and a fleeting hint of Dijon mustard. Palate: medium body, medium plus acidity, similar flavors to nose, and cut grass. Acid more noticeable at the finish, which was a short one. First experience with the Rousette variety and while ok, it won’t replace my preference for SB or Chard.

Nice wine overall with citrus and melon flavors. Winery appears to be defunct so there is no more of this to be had.

Light gold color with minimal aroma. Lemon pledge and pear flavors with some minerality and very nice body weight. Lingering finish.

Notes on the second half of a bottle that has been open for a couple days. Medium straw color with a bright shine and fairly slow legs. Minuscule bouquet on the nose, some limestone and lemon/lime candy. Good weight and minerality, with gentle yellow pear and white peach flavors. Very clean, and the generous texture really stretches out the finish. Lovely, even if lacking a bit of profundity. 5+10+17+8= 90

Recommended for Riesling lovers. Clean and focused, loads of mineral backbone, medium-plus acidity, excellent finish with a drying edge. Apple and citrus. Solid.

Drank with a homemade salade Nicoise. This was delicious, crisp, well balanced, and cut through the many flavours very well. Almond and apple notes on the nose. It is pretty light in body with firm acidity. Light flavours of grapefruit and apple, very juicy and minerally, maybe a slightly prickle on the finish of a wine showing its youth. Overall, a very pretty and delicious wine.

I really like this. Strong mineral backbone and crisp acids reminiscent of Chablis. I'm curious how this will develop. Might hold a couple bottles to see, but it's delicious now.
