This rare Chasselas from Alsace is from vines planted in 1940 — yes, 1940! — and offers a quintessentially European white wine style.
A flicker of lemon on the otherwise shy nose suggests freshness, and the very light palate is citrus-driven and clean. A lovely pithy backdrop adds interest and texture. Purity and freshness dominate the dry finish. ANNE KREBIEHL MW
