The wine region of Finger Lakes
Quality hub of the American northeast, signature Riesling: dry, lively, mineral whites with notes of green apple, lemon, white peach and wet stone, sharp acidity comparable to the best Germans. Also off-dry and sweet botrytised versions. Precise Chardonnay, fine, fresh Pinot Noir (red fruits), peppery Cabernet Franc. Continental climate tempered by 11 glacial lakes (Cayuga, Seneca).
The wine region of New York
America's 3rd wine state by volume, striking diversity. Finger Lakes the signature: cool-climate Riesling, dry to off-dry, mineral and lively with notes of lime, apple, evolving petrol and white flowers — a US benchmark. Warmer Long Island for peppery Cabernet Franc and supple Merlot. Hudson Valley (Seyval, Vidal).
The word of the wine: Disgorging (champagne)
This is the evacuation of the deposit formed by the yeasts during the second fermentation in the bottle, by opening the bottle. The missing volume is completed with the liqueur de dosage - a mixture of wine and cane sugar - before the final cork is placed. For some years now, some producers have been replacing this sugar with rectified concentrated musts (concentrated grape juice) which give excellent results. A too recent dosage (less than three months) harms the gustatory harmony of the champagne.
