Laurent Miquel Alaina Albariño 2020
l'Aude, Vin de Pays d'Oc, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceLaurent Miquel specializes in white aromatic varieties in Corbières. In the case of the Albariño, it is growing at the Les Auzines estate at altitude between the Alaric Mountains and the Alzou Gorge. The company was the first to grow Albariño in France, and according to Laurent, at 400 metres altitude it is more than possible in a region famous for its reds. Freshness is the region's signature, and this wine opens with an intense citrus nose and early attack on the palate, followed by a strong lemon/lime rind, guava, and more green fruits. Chicken is a good match, as are most vegetarian dishes. Watch out Spain, this is delicious stuff.Tasted: 19 October 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $22.95 | 750ml | select private retailers |
