Vin de France Blanc "Etincelle" [Viognier and Roussanne], Domaine Coursodon Bottle:1 pear and mixed citrus fruit

pear and mixed citrus fruit characters

This is the first espadin based mezcal from this great distiller and at less than half the price of his wild agave mezcales it is sure to fly off the shelf

Try pairing it with pan-seared scallops

neither overripe nor overly extracted - juicy berries

but it is not a true monopole
