2022 Philippe Viallet Vin de Savoie Blanc
For anyone whose main love in life is cheese. From: Savoie, FranceVarietal: Jacquère, Chasselas, Chardonnay, Altesse Taste: In the glass, the wine is a bright light straw color with green and grey hints. The nose is exuberant and bouncy, with an Alpine freshness, crisp orchard fruit and Asian pear notes that follow through to the palate in the most pleasant way. There’s fantastic minerality and texture here, with a slight saltiness on the finish.Pairing: Fondue! Raclette! Tartiflette, Reblochonade, Boit Chaude, Diots, Crozets, and any gratin dish. Please google the above to find recipes and more. They’re basically a myriad of cheese + potato + meat (charcuterie, ham, lardons, etc) combinations that result in fascinatingly different (not to mention delicious) flavors. Also, seafood-based dishes, spring pastas, savory tarts, and fresh salads garnished with pear and roasted nuts work beautifully alongside this wine.
