Domaine de L'Idylle Emile Cepage Roussette 2010 from Savoie

 Domaine de L'Idylle Emile Cepage Roussette 2010 is a white wine made from Roussette grapes which are also known as Altesse, this is a high quality grape found in the Savoie and is thought to have alot in common with Hungary's Furmint grape. Pale lemon and with floral and lemon pith aromas it also has a pear drop tinge on the nose. Tasting it reveals good acidity, low alcohol and medium body - balanced and in tune with where it originated. It has minerality layered with green apple and lemon and a slight pithy finish and later its profile also included biscuity notes and made me think this had seen some skin and lees contact. This was crispness with a wrapping!
