: Light gold color; rather stony/mineral/chalky bit perfumed talc light grapey/mango bit simple nose; fairly tart/metallic/grapefruity bit grapey/mango rather mineral/chalky/stony rather briney/savory flavor; fairly long quite chalky/mineral/stony/grapefruity rather tart/metallic/steely savory finish; a quite minerally/savory/salado kind of white; reminds some of old-timey Sebastiano Gray Riesling w/o the overt fruitiness, a bit like a Friuli Friuliano w/o the aromatics, more like a Savoie Jacquere w/ more richness; a pleasant enough wine that needs food w/ it. $26.00

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. TrouseauGris is found mostly in the Jura. There apparently are some Alsatian connections as well. It was onetime grown a lot in Calif as GrayRiesling, but plantings have dwindled considerably.
