2021 Domaine Elian Da Ros Coucou Blanc, Sud Ouest, Vin de France Nebbiolo Gamay Sale A little less skin contactElian describes this wine as "an atypical white from the region, certainly inherited from my time spent in Alsace. Floral nose, full bodied, and fresh, it starts with acidity followed by aromas of citrus, exotic fruit, and mirabelle plums. It pairs well with shellfish, spicy dishes, saffron, and white meat. It can be enjoyed young, or kept in the bottle to allow more complex aromas to develop." Paris Wine Co.
