Comtesse A...

2011 Arbois Savagnin ouillé

Bon Vivant Merchants Comtesse A from the outstanding 2011 vintage is a splendid example of Savagnin ouillé, showcasing the expressive characteristics of the Arbois region. This white wine presents a medium-bodied profile with a delightful balance of brightness and freshness, attributed to its high acidity. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing enticing notes of apple, pear, and subtle hints of citrus, which make it incredibly refreshing. Its mouthwatering qualities are complemented by a finesse of delicate, textured tannins that ensure a smooth, enjoyable finish. As a dry wine, it elegantly marries well with various culinary delights, making it a versatile choice for any dining occasion.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
