A recent opportunity to re-taste the "Insolite" was inspirational. Their 2015 seems to deliver more of everything with plenty of ripe gooseberries, musk, saline and flint on the nose and a very concentrated mouthful of vibrant citrus with bright acidity and minerals on the finish. It's a versatile white that's perfect on it's own and suitable with a wide array of dishes. Outstanding with fish, vegetables and goat cheese for sure.
Notes
One of K&L's very finest buys from France. This is a reserve cuvée, made from Millet's chalkiest limestone soils. There is a long maceration at very low temperatures to extract as much flavor and character as possible. The resulting wine is intensely charged with stone fruit and minerality, with bright citrus notes. The wines of this family domaine have been a staple here at K&L since the 1994 vintage when Franck and Betty Millet drove a long way (to Beaune!) on Easter Sunday to meet Clyde and crew to present the wines. We love these wines for their freshness, charm and affordability.
