Domaine Roland Schmitt 2014 Grand A du Petit Léon Sylvaner (Alsace)

Country: France / Alsace
Variety: Sylvaner
Winery: Domaine Roland Schmitt / Grand A du Petit Léon

Bruised apple and dandelion notes play spicily on the textured, slightly phenolic palate. The central streak of freshness brightens all aspects of the wine, which might gain complexity with a year or two more in bottle. For now it remains intriguingly poised between earthy richness and ethereal lift.
