Domaine des Ardoisières, Quartz 2022 JURA Old vine Chardy off purePlace: Savoie, France Grape: Altesse Vibe: Natural, textural 100% Altesse, also known as Roussette. Call it what you want. Fruit from the Coteau de Cevins vineyard. You don't get much better. Fermented and aged for 18 months in barrel, it needs both air and time to show its true magnitude. Equal parts razor sharp and tropical, the concentration and pent up complexity is something to behold. Collectors' item level booze. ABV: 11%
