this week I am drinking

My tour of French wine continues. Our local wine shop have a few bottles open on the weekend and one of those I tried recently I decided to purchase.

Pierre Boniface Apremont Vin de Savoie 2003 is a nice crisp, dry, citrus white wine, herbaceous and grassy nose. Enjoy with salad or some other refreshing light dish or simply quaff.

The wine is from the Savoie region which is centered around the city of Chambery, north of Grenoble and south-east of the Burgundy region. Apremont is just one of a number of crus in the Savoie region which lies in the foothills of the Alps. I believe the grape varietal is Jacquerre, which I know nothing about. A good summer's drink.
