Domaine de Belliviere Jasnieres Les Rosiers 2011

750ML

Sku: 053411

Brilliantly fruited, complex and interesting Chenin Blanc nose of stone, apricot and peach and hay. The same flavors carry through to the palate, and the wine is a joy to drink. Enjoy with a complex goat cheese and some great bread! Ben 2/2/13
