Looking for super-hip and totally unique wine? You need Lemencier in your glass!
Organically grown on 30 to 60 year old vines in one of France’s smallest appellations, this mouth-filling blend of rich Marsanne and rare, aromatic Rousanne is both opulent and refreshing.
This wine is from the Saint-Peray appellation in the Rhone-Alpes region in south-eastern France. It is one of 26 regions of France, located on the eastern border of the country, towards the south. The region was named after the Rhone River and the Alps mountain range; and it is indeed the steep Rhone slopes of Saint-Peray that help form this richly structured white wine.
The Cuvee de L’Elegance is full of tropical fruit flavors, citrus peel, and hints of toasted almonds. There is an enchanting floral quality and a zing of acidity that is all rounded out with lots of toasty oak. Sustainably grown, hand-picked and produced with care, this beautifully textured white comes from old vines. It is both sleek and voluptuous and would be lovely paired with chicken picatta or bacon-wrapped scallops.
Lemenicier Cuvee de l’Elegance 2006, $23.95
