Auxerrois blanc is thought to have originated in Lorraine, rather than near Auxerre in the Yonne. Recent DNA fingerprinting suggests that it is a cross between Gouais blanc and Pinot noir, the same ancestry as Chardonnay. The name Auxerrois blanc has actually been used as a synonym for Chardonnay in the Moselle region in France, which explains why there is also a longer name (Auxerrois Blanc de Laquenexy) for the grape variety.
This pale yellow Auxerrois shows an intense nose of fresh white fruits, rhubarb and spring flowers. Easy to drink and fresh on the palate.
Quiche, grilled fish, rhubarb pie, mixed salad, and also fresh sheep milk cheese.
