| 75 | | | 91 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | The fortified wines of France’s east coast are delicious treats, and many will do wonderfully with holiday desserts. This example, made entirely of Grenache Blanc, is a full-bodied sweet white wine with a bright reddish copper color. The aromas supply dried yellow fruit characters--apricot especially--and bitter orange (Seville orange) marmalade. Orange marmalade flavors also inform the palate, where the intensity and the fruit linger appreciably. Complex, well balanced, lingering, the wine has enough acidity to keep it from being cloying. This vineyard is located in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Alcohol is hefty, 16%, so pour lightly into small tulip-shaped glasses and serve slightly chilled, about 65ºF/17ºC. Foods: Aperitif with foie gras or creamy chicken liver mousse; goat cheese; Dessert: cheesecake; creamy blue cheeses; pumpkin desserts with ginger, cinnamon, allspice, etc.; pecan pie (kidding not); dark chocolate but cocoa no more than about 55-65% cacao; apple tart; simple cookie
