942. Domaine de la Pinte, Arbois Savagnin, 2006
The Paper 3 Savagnin that I picked in the exam! After re-sitting blind, this was definitely a characterful and enjoyable wine. Mid-deep gold. Complex. …
923. Domaine de Montbourgeau, l’Etoile Savagnin, 2011
An entertaining highlight of my ‘Odd Whites’ open tasting. 3 years under flor for 100% Savagnin / Gewürztraminer. Its flavour makes it great for …
918. Domaine Zind-Humbrecht, Gewürztraminer Clos Windsbuhl, 2007
