Every now and again, a winery has the curious idea to elevate a certain type of grape or a certain sort of wine to heights heretofore unseen. It's hard work, because brilliant Roussette de Savoie - for example - is not exactly what the wine drinking market is asking for. But we are fortunate for their efforts, because truly memorable wine can come from the unlikeliest places. Domaine les Aricoques Roussette de Savoie has reset the bar for what this grape can do in the Alpine foothills of Savoie. Without losing any of the appellation's traditional richness and texture, this wine has incredible, bright and lively acidity and a wide range of flavors taking in lemon curd, apple sauce, gravel, lime zest and smoked herbs. Give this wine a go, even if you have to look it up on a map.
