Chardonnay isn&#8217;t an Alsace variety, but this wine shows that a great terroir can often be interpreted intelligently by a range of different grapes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Domaine Zind Humbrecht &#8216;Zind&#8217; 2010 Alsace, France<br \/>\n<\/strong>Fermented slowly (for a year!) in large foudres, this is 70% Chardonnay and 30% Auxerrois. Full yellow colour. Richly aromatic, this has lively flavours of quince, fig, toast and citrus, with some pithiness and high acidity. Concentrated and bracing, with just a hint of sweetness, this is a lovely wine. 93\/100 (\u00a316.99 Waitrose)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love Zind Humbrecht&#8217;s wines, as you can see from this write-up of the 2010s when I visited Olivier Humbrecht at his winery.
