#WineWednesday – 2007 Auxerrois
2007 Auxerrois ‘Rotleibel de Rorschwihr’ Rolly Gassmann
Alsace, France
The Auxerrois grape is sibling of Chardonnay and is grown mostly in the Alsace region of France, but also in certain areas of Germany; and, this is the finest example of it I have tasted so far; full – weight and luscious with honeyed apricot and peaches, underlying bee’s wax, summer hay and dried spring flowers nuances; 7 years young due to lively, still, acidities and a long, smooth, off dry – ish finish; I had it with “székely gulyás”, a traditional Transylvanian dish, cabbage used instead potato, and it was absolutely delicious, although I also see it work very well with ethnic cuisines, Thai and Indian, and even Mexican, pork and poultry, will handle spicy elements well; it is currently on “bin end sale” @lcbo Summerhill (and possibly other locations) for the mere $15; do not make the mistake of not checking it out; santé !!
