Jim Recommends This Wine
What an opportunity to taste such a rare grape. And the wine is just as unique. Fun!
This dry white wine is 100% Romorantin, which is related to Chardonnay and Aligoté. Deep and complex, with mineral notes on the nose and a full roundness in the mouth. Suggested food pairings include turkey curry in cream sauce, asparagus, and artichokes. Biodynamic.
Named for the Italian word for light, ‘”Lucé” celebrates the Renaissance when Romorantin grapes were highly prized and Italian fashion spread throughout the world. Golden yellow in the glass. Deep and complex aromas that begin with pronounced acacia fragrance, followed by rhubarb. A fresh and powerful mouthfeel with a straightforward attack and aromatic hazelnut notes. Finishes with balance and good length. This dry and balanced “grand vin” expresses all of the tradition and wealth of Romorantin.
