Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Has a floral fragrance with rich aromas of quince, pineapple and sweet almonds. In the mouth, the wine gives an impression of opulence with notes of buttered pears, citrus fragrance which gives it a fresh finish and exotic.

This wine pairs well with fish, agrees very well with pastries and desserts.

    The 2008 Abymes Monfarina (from the Jacquere grape) smells of clover and fresh lime. Honeydew melon, lime, and oregano give the palate a Sauvignon-like cast, and the wine's lusciously citric finish indelibly stains the palate with salt and chalk. Less overtly ripe than the 2007 rendition (reviewed in issue 178), this almost makes up for it in its persistent and fascinating mineral-like character.

    The wines of Frederic Giachino's biodynamically-farmed estate are now officially retailing for less than in their previous vintages, and they were already among the most amazing white wine values anywhere!

In 1988, Frederic Giachino took over his family's very small estate (at the time, it only consisted of 1.5 hectares!) which has now grown to 7 hectares. Although the domaine had been worked before his arrival using traditional viticultural techniques, Frederic took the big step to start the conversion toward a total organic estate. This continues today with no use of any synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers.
