Eric Texier, Adele, France

ABV: 12.5% All the finesse of Clairette, with a touch of Marsanne, from the warm granite soils of St. Julien and St. Alban, in the Ardéche. This is a beautiful, multi-layered wine, and a reference to Adèle Blanc-Sec, the heroine of a newspaper comic strip, set in Paris at the turn of the 20th century.
